A Day at the Beach
We spent most of today at the beach at Presque Isle, also known as the Peninsula. I was lying on the blanket, reading, when I heard a man say, "No one's going to get sunburned on my watch." Curious I looked up.
A man with three young boys was walking past us and he set up his blanket and stuff not very far away from us. I went back to reading but later on when I looked up, I saw that he had the three boys lined up in front of him and he was squirting sunblock onto his hands. He took this task very seriously. He methodically rubbed the cream over their faces as well as everywhere else the sun's rays could touch them.
After the boys dashed off to splash around in the water, he rubbed sunblock on himself.
I still have this mental picture of the man with both hands white with sunblock and gently washing the boys' faces with it. No one got sunburned on his watch!
