I caught the stove on fire making dinner last night. Apparently you have to clean the burners?!

I also can only own straighteners that have an automatic off after an hour because I will leave them on ALL the time :)

It's completely normal. In my first apartment living solo, I was taking a pan out of the oven using a dishtowel. The dishtowel somehow touched the element and started burning. Now instead of dropping the darn thing in the sink right next to the stove, I ran all the way across the apartment into the parking lot and starting stomping on the towel. Then I promptly ran a fork through the

isn't it what the song "bruning down the house" is all about?

You forgot to mention how you also 'miss-place' things....
which is why I always think of you when I see e-or (couldn't figure out how to spell his name so just sound it out). You know who I'm talking about....

I actually have it pretty together in this respect. However, I more than make up for it in social ineptitude and also clumsiness.

I'd blow out the candle, but hit my head on the table doing it!

My parents have one of the flat top stoves. So I was cooking one time with the cookbook on top of the stove next to the wok. That would have been fine except for the fact that I turned the wrong burner on. I didn't notice until I smelled burning paper. I burnt a perfect round hole in the cover of the cookbook. My brothers will not let me forget that...

Tom is the worst. He loses his keys- in the freezer! Oh the stories of where he loses things are insane.

Oh yes. Everyone has moments like that, but some, wind up burning the house down. My Dad is terrible about falling asleep with a lit cig.

Lots of burns in the carpet, chair, etc. My Mother goes around now & checks on him.

We eventually turn back into children. (unless you never grow up)

A friend of mine in grade school was making dinner for herself one night before we all went to a dance. She couldn't get the burner on her stove to come on, so she lit the burner. But she had it on high...and this was 1989, so she had on lots of hair spray...and she singed her bangs off. I mentioned that to her a few weeks ago on FB and she couldn't believe that I remembered it. Of

Oh crap, hit submit too soon. What I also wanted to add is yes I do this stuff but different less dangerous stuff. Like catching myself putting milk back in the cubbard, or the cereal in the fridge.

LOL!

BE CAREFUL!!

And is it just me or do all of your accidents involve fire or burning?
