I Burned My Tongue

Back when I was about 14 I burned my tongue really bad at my school canteen. They used to serve us tea that was only a little above room temperature so when I grabbed a glass and downed almost half of it in one go (I remember I was very thirsty) I didn't expect it to be as hot as tea could only get... I burned my tongue so badly, but it's kind of funny how I still remember that episode of my life and how I keep being thankful for this hot burning experience - I'm thankful, because due to it I've developed such great tolerance for hot foods and beverages, and it's kind of useful.

    Hahaha! That's a fun thank you... I do get my share of burned tonque too. I love my soups and beverages hot so I weather the pain and discomfort. But I got used to it or my tonque got used to the burning sensation. xoxo

    haha awesome, burning your tongue hurts! (How insightful of me, eh?) but it sounds like that episode resonated with you and I bet you're a little more cautious before taking a gulp.
