Well, here’s a lie!

Stupid Pinterest and all the handy dandy hints and tips.  Read a list over the weekend of different uses for household stuff, like “put chap stick on a paper cut to stop bleeding and pain.”  So I had one of those itty bitty paper cuts today that is so small but feels like flaming gasoline is being poured under your skin…alrighty, I know just what to do, right?  Whip out that chap stick and swipe some on…and 3, 2, 1…pretty sure my flesh is going to boil off it hurt so bad.  Went running down the hall to the sink, oh god, it’s blocked in by a maintenance cart…run the other way…omg, the bathroom door is locked…I am waving my hand in the air, positive that this tiny inferno is a gateway for demons to enter this dimension and that they are squeezing their way out of this centimeter of open skin on my thumb.  Keys in hand I finally make it to soap and water to wash the damned chap stick off, which is only slightly a relief since it still hurts as bad as it did to start with…but I’ve learned my Pinterest lesson: always make your friend try it first.
