A bright red tomato

Nope, not talking about produce from my garden. Or the store. It's me. I'm the bright red tomato.

I was outside all day yesterday and I kind of forgot that I am pigment impaired when it comes to my skin. I mean, I didn't forget, obviously, I just forgot that it bodes ill for me to be in that much sun. 

I also forgot that it takes a while to notice just how sunburned I am, so what I thought was just a tinge of red ended up as a much more painful, bright red (and I swear swollen) burn on my legs and arms. And neck. If I get skin cancer, it will be because of all the sunburns on my neck. 

Fact. I do not make a good tomato. Fact. I have blindingly white skin. Fact. Life is much better with my very white skin than when I do an impression of a tomato.

Don't forget the sun is hot and it will burn you.
