Today I spilled the tea

I was on the couch, and the hot beverage was on the armrest. It was an accident. Landed on my left thigh and the couch cushion. Curiously, I did not get any skin burning. I assume the temperature was not enough to cause the horrific damage that occurs with the younger. Or maybe my thigh has too much adipose tissue that protected it.
In any event, I will not be using the couch armrest for my beverages or meals/snack in the future.
