Stupid and stupider

My dermatologist froze off a pre-cancerous spot on my lip last week.

Stupid: Forgetting I was hyper-allergic to antibiotic ointments. My mouth is now a swollen, burning, blistered mess.

Stupider: Ever thinking it was a good idea for me to try to get a tan in the first place. White is beautiful -- or at least better than biopsy-scarred and wrinkled skin.

Smart: At least my children won't have this problem!
