Light bulb moment
My burns are small and on the right index finger and thumb (amazing how much pain a small burn can generate! It felt like entire thumb and finger last night). They have turned into a mix of ooky blisters and melted/scarred flesh in the pattern of the ring of the skewer (neat!). I keep fiddling with the non-blister part... it's "weird"...
But I have GREAT news: Reasons why being burned/scarred on your fingers is a "win":
1. Constant Boo Boo kisses from the family!
2. Unique finger prints. No one will ever be able to pin the crime on me. (likewise, I will need to get some false finger tips for any life of crime I was thinking of)
3. With enough scarring, I'll have asbestos fingers... I'll be able to pick things up from the hot grill without fear!!!
4. After the scars settle down, I'll never need another thimble for hand work!
Go me!
Edit
More neat:
when I line up the injuries from both fingers, they meet because they were holding the same skewer. I can feel the pulse in both at the same time... It's totally weird and spoooky!!!!! So I'm walking around gently placing them together and smirking like a weirdo. heh... who knew it would be so entertaining!

I can't believe you managed to hide it that long!

It was inside the palm of my hand, and I was the one in charge of the house while she earned the living, so she really gave me orders more than asking questions, other than "Why isn't this or that job done?".

It doesn't take many years to learn how to be embarrassed. I'm always ashamed of the people who do that sort of thing to children (deliberately embarrass them) just for fun. (Think Art Linkletter and Kids Say the Darnedest Things.)
