Ahhh, summertime. A season where sunscreen is plentiful, but somehow, so are terrible sunburns. No matter how much sunscreen you buy or how many times you reapply, it seems like you're just destined to get at least one burn that leaves a painful mark. And this is how it inevitably goes down:

I must've fallen into a coma.

Wait -- why do I feel really scratchy?

As does sleeping, eating and breathing.

Sun, you are one sneaky b*tch.
