Rules to live by. Don't touch steam from hot rice.

Last night I put some hot steaming rice on Jacob's and Bella's plate. It was extremely hot, fresh out of the rice cooker.

Jacob started waving his hands over the rice and through the steam saying, "See, it's not hot." Of course, Bella did the same because her brother was doing it.

So I reminded him of the time he climbed up on my aunts table and waved at the steam coming off of the rice cooker and it burned him. The burn blistered up. It was really bad. We had to take him to the hospital and he got bandaged up. It was so sad.

His response to this memory recall was, "Yeah, but that was hot."

I just sat down and ate dinner.

I had taken a picture of his wrapped hand when he came home from the hospital. It was so pathetic yet it has always been one of my favorite pictures. He was maybe 1 1/2 years old. He had to keep the wrap on for 10 days.

I found the picture.


Jacob. Early 2002.

I love that pic!
