I trust that most of my readers are familiar with the benefits to be gained from the generous application of sunscreen. And if you aren’t slathering your kids with SPF 125 or so you may as well turn yourself in to Child Protective Services, just to save your friends the trouble.
But do you have any idea how much kid's sunscreen costs? A 8 oz bottle of Coppertone Water Babies SPF 45 cost me $12 at the grocery store the other day. $12!!! That's $128 per gallon!
Sorry, kids, you're going to have to play inside until after the equinox...

It's a matter of perspective...
Milk is twice the price of gasoline, but we don't "consume" nearly the same amount...
An entire gallon of sunscreen should last several years...

Note to self - do not present logical fallacies in your weblog. Friends will call you on them.
