Mother Took Her Daughter And Her Friends To The Pool, But She She Didn’t Expect To Accidentally Start A Sunscreen Assembly Line

Spending a summer day at the pool attracts splashes, chaos, and the occasional case of mistaken identity.
While a woman was preparing three little girls for a swim, a group of children she didn’t know formed a neat line behind them expecting sunscreen too.
And she was happy to oblige.
You’ll want to read on for this one.
This is a cute one
At the time this happened, I had one daughter and also frequently had charge of the two little girls from next door.
They were all very close in age—like a year and a half from oldest to youngest.
They were probably in the 5 to 6-year-old range. I had taken them to the public pool and was putting sunscreen on them.
But then apparently other kids took notice.
I had finished one kid, so she was off to the side. I was working on kid number two, and kid three was standing behind kid two, waiting for her turn.
And then a number of other little kids came running up and got in the “line.” Apparently, they’d concluded that I was the Official Sunscreen Lady.
Hey, the job needed to get done one way or the other!
What did Reddit think of this sweet story?
Proper sunscreen use is important for all ages.

More people should really respect just how powerful the sun is.

It helps to always be prepared.

It’s always nice to be able to help out.

It may have been a small moment, but it was one that stuck with her.
Honorary sunscreen provider sounds like a pretty great gig.
