Ouch!

So, a few weeks ago the boys and I were "fishing" on the back patio when Papa came out with freshly cut cantaloupe for the boys! (I don't like it myself, but the boys LOVE it! What a thoughtful Papa.) After a few minutes they both started crying, then rubbing their eyes, then screaming, "It hurts!!!!" What the heck??? Then both of their sweet little faces started turning all red and swelling up like crazy. Finally we got worried enough that we were getting our shoes on to take them both to the E.R. when B asked for a Popsicle. So, we took them outside and let them have popsicles on the porch and they gradually stopped crying and the swelling stopped. It turned out that Papa had cut hot chile peppers on the same cutting board as the cantaloupe and not rinsed it off before cutting the fruit, so the juice residue from the chiles had gotten onto the cantaloupe and burned the heck out of our babies mouths and faces because the chile juice was also on their little hands! OUCH!
