Did You Hear About The Time I Got A Serious Sunburn?

Archie Brown and some of his class mates were invited on San Jacinto Day to go to the lake with their favorite teacher. Mrs. Tucker had been their teacher in the 5th grade. Now as 6th graders, they still loved her. Tommy and Larry and Zeke and Arch went swimming and canoeing and even fished a bit.

It was an overcast day, so the guys thought nothing about going shirtless all day. But they learned that overcast days do not mean one cannot get serious sunburns. Archie and the guys all missed a couple of days of school because of the severe burns. Archie even had to go to the doctor to get some relief.

He never again went shirtless outside again, even when swimming, he wore a tee shirt.
