Lotion Notion

In the summertime, you've got to protect your face with sunscreen. But applying and re-applying it can be tedious, so here's a simple trick. Before I go to the beach, I dress up in a suit and tie and pretend that I'm the world's most famous movie star putting on makeup before appearing on a TV show hosted by my parents. I love my parents. There's nothing I wouldn't do for them.
