Today, I learned where my mom's "special hiding spot" that I'll "never find" for the Halloween chocolate is, when I preheated the oven to make cookies. FML

Sorry sweaty
Today, I discovered a drawer full of chocolates, cookies and baked goods in my house. When I asked my sister what the drawer was, she told me that my mom thought it would be a good idea to hide the fattening foods from me. My entire family had known about the food drawer, except me. FML

Today, I found out that I'm not actually allergic to chocolate, when my mom freely admitted to me that she made it up when I was a child because she didn't want to share any cookies with me. FML

Today, after 30 minutes of pre-heating the oven to make a special meatloaf for my husband's birthday, I remembered that I had hidden the cake in there. FML

Today, I made my mom cookies for Mother's Day. My brother took all the cookies to work as a snack, because I didn't specifically tell him that the homemade "MOM" hearts weren't meant for him. FML

Today, I learned to check inside the oven before you preheat it. Sometimes children hide their pet rabbit in there. FML

Today, I snuck into my aunt's house while she was working to raid her pantry, like I do most days. Excited for a snack cake, I went to the pantry. Apparently she'd found out, because there was a lock on it. FML
love you too mommy

Today, my mom walked into my room to talk to me. I was surprised because we don't talk much. I was left with a smile on my face after she left, until I realized she'd stolen all the candy on my desk while I wasn't looking. FML

Today, I woke up and decided to make my mom a special Easter breakfast in bed. I pre-heated the oven to bake the sausage just the way she likes. Guess where my easter basket was. FML

Today, my mom told me she’d never forgive me for eating her birthday candy. I ate it in my sleep. FML

Today, I woke up early and spent hours baking and icing a three-tier cake for my friend's eighteenth birthday, which is this evening. I just found out my mother threw it in the compost bin because she's on a diet and it was "tempting" her. FML

I learned living with my mom to always check the oven before I turn it on. She always loved to put the pots and pans in there to store them. There are NEVER enough places to put pans a 350 degrees

Your mom sounds stupid, no offense. Why would she hide candy in the oven? Especially if its in its wrapper/in a bag; it could catch on fire.

At least you are making cookies so I guess the cookies are a plus!!

Looking through the comments, I had no idea so many people stored stuff in their ovens. It just strikes me as a monumentally stupid thing to do. I'd corner off a section of my floor and stack pots there before I'd ever store them in my oven. Goddamn fire hazard.

Seriously though, I've never heard of someone storing things in their oven. How ridiculous, that's such a fire hazard.

it doesnt work all the time. my mother has a very tiny kitchen, its crowded if two people stand there, so you cant exactly cordon off a section of the floor. if you keep pots and pans there, its not dangerous. paper/plastic/electrical wires can catch fire, metal doesnt. plus her oven is gas, not electric, and we keep the line off when we arent using it.

Obviously metal doesn't catch fire at oven temperatures (atleast not the type of metal your pans are made out of, unless you're like storing magnesium in your oven), but you can create a spark by exciting the electrons in the metal and potentially create an explosion, especially if you have a gas oven. SO SO DANGEROUS. Just because it's not made of paper doesn't mean it's not a fire hazard. Do you put metal in your microwave when you use it? No, no you don't.

Microwaves work on a different principle than gas ovens (Why do you think its called a "microwave"?), which is why you can put metal in an oven (baking trays) and not in a microwave. Plus, the melting point of aluminium is over 1000 degrees, baking temperatures are way lower than that. Simple physics really.

And that is why you always check the oven before heating

@33- After what Molly Brown did looking in the oven should be a lesson learned! Did everyone already forget that line in Titanic? I must be getting old.
