Don't worry, I slathered myself in sunscreen.
I just remembered today, when I was irritating Idriss with my incessant demands that he put sunblock on, how annoying you were about it growing up.
You used to take us to the ocean beach on the south shore a few times a summer. We'd get there and be SOOOOOO EXCITED - we were little kids on a big sandy beach with big waves in front of us. Much to our chagrin though, when we arrived you would make us pile on the sunblock and then wait a full TWENTY MINUTES before getting wet, so it could "absorb" into our skin.
Dad, that was torture. Twenty minutes to a hot, sweaty, excited kid on the beach may as well be a year. If you had a digital watch at the time, I wouldn't have put it past you to time it exactly. That was so frustrating! I just so vividly remember dying with impatience to get into the water.
Just like I always am now! Some things never change.
