A Toddler with Burnt Fingers is NOT a good thing

Obviously, allowing your little cutie to burn their soft fingers is not a good thing.

So, it follows, that it's good advice to avoid it at all costs!! (this is of course, clear to most of you who are reading )
DON'T LET YOUR CHILD BURN THEIR HANDS unless you want to spend your afternoon holding them with their hand in a cup of cool water, which apparently is the only way to relieve the pain.

Can they take a nap with their hand in a cup of water? No.
Can they play on their own with their hand in a cup of water? No.
Can you clean your house, make the dessert mentioned in a previous post, in addition to a double batch of home-made rolls, do dishes, water plants, vacuum, take a shower, do your hair, set up tables and chairs, set the table, place centerpieces, all while letting your sick husband rest with your child's hand in a cup of water? NO!

Okay, maybe it wasn't that bad. But it did throw a wrench in our schedule, and Lauren did not have a nap, and she was sad and had a hard day :(
It all started so innocently - she was having a blast riding around on the "trAter" with daddy while he mowed the lawn. Then, she got down and curiously reached out to touch the searing hot grill covering the engine. :( I feel guilty talking about it. Poor Thing!
She's fine now, thank goodness, but is it possible to VOW never to let it happen AGAIN?!!!!
