I'll never forget the day I almost burned our house down...My brothers won't let me live it down either.
Anyway,
My brothers and I were home alone for the day. My brothers were playing video games, probably was Nintendo :)
Anyway...they weren't paying me any attention. Shame on them!!! I remember needing something out of our coat closet...I knew that it was wayyyy in the back of the closet. The way our house was built, the coat closet was under the stairs so it was extended and gave room for storage. Well I needed some light. I couldn't find a flash light so I used the next best thing this huge lamp I found in the closet. So I plug it up and go to work searching through the closet for my lost item. I find it and place the lamp face down on the carpet.
Little did I know that this was a FLOOD LAMP!!!! All of a sudden we smell smoke! We lift the lamp to find a huge hole/burn in the carpet. Had i left it there any longer, there's no telling how much damage I would've caused. So to remedy the situation, I took the foolish advice of my brothers and sprayed it with air freshner and covered it with a throw rug.
Needless to say, I was punished and sent to my room and to this day flood lights give me flashbacks to one of the craziest days of my life.
