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?

but complete with good fodder to be able to use against him next time you do something stupid. "Oh yeah, well at least I didn't almost burn down the house!"

LOL...exactly, considering I've used that one. frequently.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

you are devious. I like that

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

why thank you. it's something you have to learn quickly when you have three older brothers. if you can't fight them, blackmail them.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

*nods* makes sense

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

it's certainly saved me from the threat of bodily harm a time or two.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

younger siblings need all the blackmail material they can get their hands on!

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

definitely. I mean, there's always running, but that's only effective if you know you can outrun them...and, well, you can't hide forever.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

unfortunately no, you can't... but bribes and blackmail are always an option to fall back on!

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

both seem to be pretty equally effective, too.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

although you have to be careful to make sure they don't have ammunition on you as well

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

yeah, I made that mistake once or twice.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

*iz shocked* I don't believe you! *g*

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

LOL...it's usually a matter of who's more willing to confess their own crime at that point.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

*nods* been there myself!
