Don't try this at home, kids.

You should try it at school, where more of your friends can see and be impressed.

This is my mummy hand. You can have one, too. All you have to do is heat a sauce pan in the oven for about an hour (425 Fahrenheit works nicely), pull it out and set it on the counter, take 2 seconds to forget that it's hot, pick it up with your bare hand, then go to a Belgian emergency room. The Belgian emergency room is the key to getting the mummy hand because the SHAPE clinic doesn't do nearly as nice a job of wrapping you up. The SHAPE folks did agree, however, that the Belgians had treated me properly. The Belgian hospital uses a product called (no kidding) Flammazine! They also gave me some megapowerful acetaminophen, so I can laugh at my stupidity instead of writhing in the pain I obviously deserve.

What a good father you are. Still teaching your children those hard lessons that you feel words alone just cannot convey. I know the girls are appreciative of your thoughtfulness. Ironic isn't it--parenting looks a lot like stupidity when you get older--doesn't it? Hope you do get better soon. Old parent in NC...donald
