Always Getting Burned

I’ve lived 34 years in a world full of hot food and beverages. You’d think I would have learned to avoid being burned by now, but my stinging tongue says otherwise. I wonder. Is there anyone out there who has learned to always let pizza, cocoa, and other hot treats cool off before consuming them? I doubt it. We are most of us gamblers. We are most of us absent-minded. If one failing doesn’t get us, the other one will.
