I'm at work and just got the most interesting call from my husband (who never calls me at work btw)..

"Hey, it's me.  Now I don't want you to panic or anything..."  (too late) 

"First off, the fire's out."  (FIRE?!?!?)

"Well, it was more like just some smoldering and a lot of smoke, but no one got hurt.  We're all fine."  (no one being hurt is good... but smoke/smolder/fire?)

"Remember that silpat thing you got for hanukkah?"  (The silicone baking sheet liner that I've wanted for years and years and finally got, yes I remember that... wait, remember?)

"well......"

As it turns out he put a hot pan, fresh off the stovetop, directly on top of of the silicone pad lined baking sheet, which basically combusted due to the intense heat.

*sigh* and *headdesk*  Can I kill him when I get home?

Spousicide is completely justified, I would have thought. Oh dear...

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Spousicide is my new favorite word. I'll have to see how well he grovels when I get home...

"First off, the fire's out."

Oh boy. You know the conversation isn't going uphill when it starts out like that!

So he... almost burned down your kitchen with a hot pad? That's talent! (Of an undesirable kind.) I hope they at least get the smell cleared out before you get home.

::comfort coffee and donuts::

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

yeah... any conversation that starts that way is doomed from the getgo isn't it?

it's not really a hot pad, it's a nonstick liner for cookie sheets so stuff won't stick even without greasing it.

*accepts donuts and coffee* *munches happily*

[unfeathered]

Oh dear... You certainly may kill him.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

thank you! I knew you guys would have my back on this!

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

GAH men! Cut his balls off, I would! If you kill him he won't be able to buy you a replacement or offer donuts as an apology so I'd lay off that option if I were you *hugs you*

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

donuts as an apology.. I like the way you think!

[phoenix64.livejournal.com]

I think at the very least severe bodily harm is perfectly acceptable.

Mind you about a year ago I set my purse on fire (I set it on the stove and accidentally knocked the dial over), so I'm not exactly in a position to judge.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

eeek! your purse? That's awful!

[aeron-lanart.livejournal.com]

I set my hair on fire cooking dinner for OH once. Luckily hair grows back.

He needs to apologise with chocolate donuts no less (though I'd settle for just the chocolate). In the mean time, have some virtual chocolate off me.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

awww thanks *g*

My husband was in the Australian Boys' Choir when younger, and one of the boys set another boy's hair on fire with the candles they were holding.

(It was an accident; they were filming a commercial and had been at it for something like eleven hours at the time. He got sleepy and his hand drooped.)

[badwolf36.livejournal.com]

Oh my. Sounds like you've had quite the day. Physical violence authorized.

(After he grovels properly by replacing everything destroyed and bringing donuts. *nods*)

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

right.. wait till after the bribe to inflict bodily harm. *makes note*

[smithy161.livejournal.com]

I say kill him.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

straight and to the point.

I like you

[k-haldane.livejournal.com]

Kill him, *if* his first words aren't "I'll get you another one the minute I can."

Anybody can make a mistake (the thing's supposed to go in the oven, so hot is okay, right?) but one must always offer to put it right, and before being asked to.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I suppose it is a valid mistake... but you're right, he better offer to make it right! :)

Why do people say that? The very best way to get me to panic is to tell me not to. ::pets you::

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

seriously! Just ARGH!


*deep breath* thanks!

[idontlikegravy.livejournal.com]

Oh he certainly deserves it! But we need to figure out how to make it look like an accident...

Mind you, if he's such a klutz, it shouldn't be too difficult *eg*

*proffers comfort donuts*

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

hmmm... excellent suggestions....

*snags donuts to munch while plotting*

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

First off, the fire's out.

that is a FANTASTIC way to start a phone call...

p.s.

I'm not laughing, I swear.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

thinking back on it today- yeah, that's a hysterical way to start a phone call!
