Fun, but Painful

My Grampa and Gramma, who live in North Carolina, just arrived yesterday for a week's visit! Mom prepared this wonderful dinner to celebrate, but when I got home from work and started helping out, I burned a two-inch swath on the top of my right hand, between my thumb and my first finger. I was only putting the corn-on-the-cob into the boiling water, and the blast of steam that came out when I lifted the lid boiled my hand that was putting the first corn in.

So for the rest of the night I had it in ice water and then some burn cream while gripping an ice pack.
