Boiling water spilled on my leg.
In Russia, people drink hot tea out of glass cups in metal sleeves that have a handle.
Even children as young one join in the tea drinking.
Winter, summer, whenever.
Any time is perfect time for tea.
One summer evening, at grandma's house.
When I was about 3.
My tea glass popped as someone was pouring boiled water into it and it spilled all over my right thigh.
My grandparents had a grapevine pergola and I remember laying on the table, looking up at the grapes hanging above.
I was yelling at everyone to blow on my leg.
I don't remember much of anything else that followed, but now I have a 3 inch long scar on the inside of my thigh.
