When I was younger, I LOVED to babysit. When I was in high school, I mostly babysat my 3 cousins, who were probably about 3, 8 and 10 at the time.
One time I was making dinner. Pizza! Yum! So easy, right? I put the pizza in the oven and set the timer on the microwave. Well, I thought I sent the timer on the microwave. I’ll get back to that. So in the 20 minutes while we were waiting for the pizza to bake, we were in the other room, playing, watching Disney, I’m not sure.
Next thing I know the smoke alarm is going off. I check on the pizza. Everything is fine there. I’m looking around and meanwhile my cousins are following me around the kitchen. I look at the microwave where I had set the timer for 20 minutes. Only, I hadn’t set the timer! I had turned on the microwave for 20 minutes! I opened the microwave up and there was a burning Krispy Kreme Doughnut Box! In a panic, and with my cousins GIGGLING, I had them open the back door to the porch, which was covered with snow. And with an oven mitt, I grabbed the flaming Krispy Kreme box and flung it in the snow.
And all was good.
Top notch babysitter, right here!
PS-Are those doughnuts making you drool? They are whole wheat Krispy Kremes!

Funny Story…and since those doughnuts are whole wheat that makes them practically health food!

HILARIOUS!! Sounds like something I would do (the flaming Krispy Kremes I mean.) BTW I never knew about Krispy Kremes until a few years ago when I moved to Texas. They are the greatest invention EVER. Did I said EVER? EV-ER!!!!
I think we all probably have a story similar to that one 🙂 Too funny!!
I tried to set our house on fire when my kids were 5 years old and 3 weeks old. I was being a good mom and boiling my new son's bottle nipples while I was rocking him upstairs in his room. We both kinda dozed off—next thing I knew, the smoke alarms were going off and my daughter was over at the open window, inhaling as much fresh air as she could before keeling over from smoke inhalation. Apparently, the pan I was using had boiled dry. Everything turned out fine, but it was kinda scary..
From then on, I just rinsed the bottles underneath the faucet and crossed my fingers that my son would grow up healthy.
