tanning

No suncreen?
No Hershey Park.

Grandmom's comment, word for word. I told him even though mommy doesn't care about skin cancer, I do. I ranted a few minutes about her smoking and lung cancer too for good measure.

You could, if it comes up again, say "Sun screen isn't going to keep you from getting a tan at all, it just slows it down so you do not burn," as cancer is kinda hard for a child his age to understand. Sunburns HURT. That, a kid can understand!

He knows all about cancer because a couple family members passed away and he saw both mommy and her boyfriend already had "suspricous marks" removed already. He knows cancer is scary and makes a person very, very sick. He knows you can die from cancer.

I am still SO MAD at her. How dumb can a person be? Funny thing, she NOT dumb. She's just clueless and tries to bend the world to her will.
