Don't burn your tongue

Midland, Michigan

I made hot chocolate after work because it's too cold outside. I made it too hot but I keep drinking it while it's hot and then try not to burn my tongue. Don't you hate when you burn your tongue but know better?

Yes, I hate it. I have done that oftentimes because I forgot at that moment that it was still hot.

And we don't know all the time how hot it will be. Sometimes it cools too quickly if we wait too long.

@thelme55 I'm rarely thinking about what I'm doing until my tongue yells at me.

@MarshaMusselman That's right. I usually burnt my tongue when I am writing and automatically got the mug of hot tea.

My little son does this all the time. We tell him to test his food/drink out but he often doesn't .

I think kids have a harder time knowing although I have a hard time knowing when it's pizza I'm eating.

@MarshaMusselman I've done that with pizza as well. When you're too hungry, you just can't wait .

I do that usually with freshly brewed coffee. It's warm and soothing and I want to drink it, but then it's hot. so I have to let it cool. So, yes. I do, and I've been there.

Actually, I didn't actually burn my tongue but don't know how I managed to save myself since I kept drinking the hot brew.

I still slurped it. Didn't think to get up to get a spoon. I didn't end up burning my tongue this time though.

I really pay attention, because it's more dangerous than people think.

No. It feels like it's never going to be the same again.
