Ok, so tonight we were celebrating my sons' birthdays. My mom bought hot fudge to go on top of the ice cream and asked me to heat it in the microwave. I put it in the old crap box for the exact 2 minutes that it stated on the jar. As I am cutting the cake I hear my Mom say, "Ouch this is really hot." I look over and see her standing in the middle of the kitchen with hot fudge all over her hand while trying to hold the STEAMING HOT jar on a paper plate. My husband (Bigpunisher44) grabs the stuff from her and proceeds to try to keep in from spilling. I'm telling him to just set it on the counter and then I see a huge glob of HOT fudge pouring out of the jar and onto the floor. SOOOO, I reach out cup my hands and catch about a 1/2 cup of this molten LAVA in my hands...

1 hospital trip and 2 hours later - 2nd degree burns on two fingers of each hand. Mr. Punisher is ok and Mom is ok...thank god.

What the fuck was I thinking?

I missed my kids opening presents, which apparently were huge hits this year...

I'm going to try to play some Halo now...

That sucks. Its totally natural though, we see something falling and we reach out to grab it like some sort of hard wired instinct. We don't automatically fetch balls like a dog but by god we will reach out to stop something from hitting the friggin floor.

hey, on the bright side you could still play Halo with 2nd degree burns on your fingers!
