Almost a Holiday Housefire
Multitasking never turns out okay, especially during the holidays. “I’d stupidly left some oil to heat on the stove when the doorbell rang. In my defense, I was expecting relatives from abroad that I hadn’t seen in forever. Either way, after greetings and helping them to their rooms with their bags, I’d completely forgotten about the oil and returned to a fierce flame.
“I tried to take the fire out myself, but ended up calling it in. My family was terrified and my daughter was hiding under the table. Embarrassing much? Lessons were learned in the end; there’s an extinguisher in my kitchen now.” There should’ve been an extinguisher before then!
