Resist Peer Pressure

Last night I went out with a friend, who, in her defense, shall remain nameless. She noticed that I was wearing my wedding ring on a necklace, and asked, "Does your ring REALLY not fit on your finger?" Like a lemming (and reasoning that it wasn't hot or humid out), I decided to try it out.

To my surprise, the ring actually fit. Very tightly. And it wouldn't come off. I thought that was no big deal - I'd take it off with soap and water when I got home. But then my finger started swelling and turning red.

I had to surreptitiously dip my finger in my glass of ice water to work the troublesome ring off, and wipe up the wet mess with a napkin. Now I know - don't give in to peer pressure!

You make it sound like your friend was bating you on to put it on your finger. I think "peer pressure" may be to strong of a term. Maybe "friendly quandering" might be better. :)

Okay, two more things you should definitely resist: Putting your tongue on a metal pole in winter and peeing on an electric fence. Sorry, I thought I "brung ya up better than that!"
