Or maybe what is she talking about now?
Well, last night, I was tucking into a sin-free dessert. A fruits of the forest ice lolly with a ice cream centre. It had to be fake ice cream. The lolly was only 26 calories, 1g of fat and full of fresh fruit. I felt very virtuous eating this as a snack!I slid the crinkly paper of the lolly as I walked from the kitchen and then I touched this sin-free delight to my lips, with great anticipation.
.....and that is when it happened. The most horrible sticky, burning sensation. I shrieked and ripped the lolly from my lips and indeed ripped is the right word to use.
Pain? Yes!
Mince lip? Yes!
I have seen cartoons, where some foolish creature is too curious by half and ends up with it's tongue stuck to something cold and icy, but hey, that's a cartoon right, it doesn't happen to us sensible, normal folk, does it? Well think again!
It was a steep learning curve, let me tell you! One that ruined my enjoyment of watching a soppy romantic movie with my husband, who had no sympathy at all and just rolled about the sofa laughing! Gee thanks Graham!
Mince Lip!
(of course I had to finish the lolly to take the swelling down!)

That sounds positively horrendous! Hope the lip is better (and that the popsicle provided some comfort, at least!). :)
OUCH! How awful. That's something I never would have thought would happen. Hope it heals quickly.
I have gone of them after that Ricki :(
I will be much more careful next time Andrea, I have learned my lesson :)
Ouch! Better go on an ice cream only diet to make it feel better!
It sounds the most horrific injury possible. Glad to hear it didn't stop you finishing the lolly - you have to show these things who's boss!
Ouch, poor you that sounds horrible! Hope the Ice looly was worth it
Hi Dana, I think I had better take your advice, hehe!
You certainly do CC :)
It wasn't really worth it Flower, I wish I had never bothered now!
Ouchi!! & when i saw the picture, i was thinking what a great thing for my kids during this summer:) hope u are feeling better.
Hey Soma, Tell them to tread carefully and treat those ice lollies with respect unless they too want mince lip!
I hope the lip is better now Holler and that Graham has kissed it better:D
Ouch! I'm sorry about your lips I hope you feel better soon:)
Thanks for sharing.
And you can visit me if I can visit you:)

ouch - time to worry when life starts imitating cartoons - I will be careful next time I have an icy pole!
Ouch, poor you, perhaps it was the food deities way to say that you should eat something nicer...;)
hahahaha! Oh no!
Oh dear! How could something that sounds as sweet as a "lolly" be so vicious? :-)
Oh you poor thing. I have to admit though I did chickle a little at your story.
Aww! Hope your lip is feeling better soon. Thankfully that hasn't happened to me yet.
Hi Val, I will suggest that to him :)
Hi Food Crete, thanks for visiting :)
Too close for comfort Johanna, too close!
You are defitintely right Pia and it wasn't even that good!
I know, I know! You can stop laughing now Katerina :/
I still don't know Lisa!
Hi Sylvie, At least I brought a smile to you :)
Beware the lolly Ashley :)
I've never heard this expression, but HOW AWFUL for you!!!
If it happened to you Diann, you would know immediately that you had mince lip! Not a nice experience :(
I really want to laugh but I know I shouldn't!
Oh, my word. I hate even having ice stick to my FINGERS much less to my lips!!! Ouch. Somehow, I think less caloric desserts freeze harder, or something.
And I would have bopped G. with the rest of the lolly... that man...sigh.
Yep - it's the only solution.
I think we've got some ice lollies in the freezer....
