Ow.

I burned my arm on an oven door at work this morning and I'm afraid the gnarly scar I have will stick around forever. What kind of story will that make?

-Oooh, where did you get that scar? Were you in an accident like Padma Lakshmi?
-Mmm, no. I was grabbing a ladle to sample the lemonade I made* when an oven door opened up and seared me.

*Would Lemonade I Made be a cool band name?

Does the scar look like Abe Lincoln? Did you say ow? Do you ever say ow when you aren't actually hurt but because you think the situation warranted an ow?

Lemonade I Made is a great band name, or:

Out of Lemons, Lemonade I Made,

or

Life Gave Me Lemons, Lemonade I Made.

or

Melonade I Made out of Melons not Lemons and That is Why It Is Melonade Not Lemonade

or

When Life Gives you a Ladle, Don't Burn Yourself.

Or

When Life Gives you Lemons, Make Muscle not War.

So true that Padma was the first woman to make scars sexy.
