Sunburn
Lisa and Andrew are on their honeymoon in Spain. They were sunbathing on the beach during the day. Now, Lisa is talking to Andrew about his sunburn...
Andrew: My shoulders really hurt... Can you have a look?
Lisa: They’re lobster red! I warned you at the beach Andrew... You stayed out too long in the sun without sun-cream.
Andrew: I really wish I had listened to you…What can I do now?
Lisa: Well, I have moisturising lotion in my suitcase… Take a shower, then I’ll put it on your shoulders. It’ll help your skin to recover quickly.
Andrew: OK, dear…You always know what to do. I’m so lucky to have you!
Lisa: Just make sure that you keep your t-shirt on at the beach tomorrow!
Andrew: Yes, I will. That’s a good idea. We only have four days left and I really don’t want to spoil our honeymoon!
