I wish I could go back and tell younger me to be more careful.
I try and try and try to stress to our kids (12 &14) as a kid we didn't know what sun screen was and I never used it in adulthood until about 8 years back when I noticed I'd get funky dark patches on my cheeks and the tops of my forearms.
Now I use sunscreen, wear longs sleeves when fishing and big goofy boonie hats. You can't tell a kid anything...
It's about the same time that I started hearing more stories about biopsies and removals...
