but it wasn't my fault this time. luckily, there were at least two firemen in the house.
at noon today, as i was sitting outside enjoying my lunch in the park - the phone rang in the lobby. my son was on the other end.
what the hell is wrong with this turkey?
well, aside from its untimely demise, i had no idea, so i asked - why are you asking? is it trying to escape the fridge?!
about that time, i heard him shout - "GARRET! HIT THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER! IT'S COMING UP THROUGH THE BURNERS!"
seems son was going to surprise me by baking the turkey while i was at work. unfortunately, he didn't wrap it well enough, and the pan was a bit shallow. the result was an overflow and a kitchen fire.
everything's fine - the turkey is fine, the stove needs a lot of cleaning, but...the house is still standing and i didn't do it.
man.

Your poor son. It seems he has inherited your need to burn the house down. At least you have the firefighters around. Good luck with that.

Oh my! That is so funny! Glad nothing was seriously damaged. At least he was trying to surprise you with something nice.
