Sun Slapped
The Scene: John and I, hanging out in our living room.
John: This summer you actually managed to get a tan.
Me: Cool.
John: No, seriously. Your skin is a normal, healthy colour.
Me: K. Thanks.
John was lounging back on the couch. He sits up straighter to really drive his point home…
John: No. It’s a real tan. You don’t just look like your skin is no longer see-through. You should take a picture of this. Your skin is actually darker than normal skin colour- it’s like a REAL tan.
Me: …
John returns to his slouchy lounging on the couch.
John: Make sure you take a picture.

That hits pretty close to home for me…
i think i had this same conversation with Ian the other day
Don’t forget, we moved to http://dogisgodinreverse.com/
LOL! We call those corndogs here. A compliment wrapped up in an insult.
LOL! That is the story of my life. This year all I got was a farmers tan.
So, where’s the photo? lol.
LOL, Shauna. My “tan” is the same as everybody else’s “normal” skin colour. BUT, it is a TAN! =)
Thank you guys, this makes me feel better. John thinks he’s soooooo funny…
LOL! Rod and I had a very similar conversation just a few days ago. Mine is a serious farmer’s tan though. If you pull down the collar of my t-shirt, the back of my neck is seriously two-tone!
This is the first summer, other than when I was a kid, where I’ve really been out in the sun so my family is reacting in quite the same way. I actually don’t like my tan, I’d much rather be pale.
lol- I joke around that Derick and my children will be translucent they’ll be so white- I’m blinding!
Ha! My darling husband prefers to compare my skin tone to a midwestern farm girl. They think they are so funny. My return quip has something to do with him looking like some retired guy in FL.
Wow. That sounds like my husband talking to me. I spent a lot of time by the pool this summer, trying to get a tan for our wedding. Next summer I’ll be pasty again.
@Amy- Congrats on your wedding… and your tan!
Oh I have so had this conversion. I got back from a week in Mexico and the shop guys asked where I went, “huh thought you’d have a tan” I was so “tan”
Did I mention that people used to ask me if I was an albino when I was a kid…?
