Today, I was roasting marshmallows around a campfire when mine burst into flames. I instinctively shook the stick to get it to go out. The flaming marshmallow then catapulted straight into my eye, burning my whole eyelid. FML

Today, I was at a fire roasting marshmallows. When mine caught on fire, I pulled it back so I could blow out the flames. It flew off the stick, and, still flaming, landed on my face. FML
Today, I was out camping with my boyfriend and his friends. I asked my boyfriend to give me a roasted marshmallow, asking him if it was cooled down and he said yes. I put it in my mouth and it was piping hot. They all laughed to the point of tears, all while videoing me screaming and running in agony. FML
Today, my son decided he wanted roasted marshmallows. It would've been fine, except he put the entire bag into the oven I had preheating for pizza and caught it on fire. FML
Today, I was having trouble blowing out the last of the several candles on my bedside table. Exasperated, I blew as hard as I could, which sent hot wax from the other candles shooting into the air, all over my face and into my eyes. FML
Today, I was refilling my lighter. Afterwards, I gave it a test light. I must've spilled some fluid because my thumb caught on fire. FML
Today, I got burned, all because the toaster scared me while I was holding a pot of boiling water. FML
Today, I popped something straight out of the oven into my mouth. It burned my tongue instantly, but instead of spitting it out, I swallowed. I felt it burning all the way down. Now I can’t eat solid food or drink hot drinks. FML
Today, as I was trying to remove my lunch from the hot oven tray, my finger brushed against the metal for a moment, and I instinctively put it in my mouth. I burnt my tongue, on my finger. I didn't realize that was possible. FML
Today, my day started with me peeing in my own face. My eye still burns. FML
Today, I noticed a strange mark on the inside of my mouthwash bottle. As I was bending down to investigate, my hands tightened around the bottle and mouthwash squirted in my eye. It still burns. FML

Blow, man, blow! Always blow other wise you risk losing the marshmallow!

YDI. Marshmallows are delicious after they catch fire and you should feel bad for not already knowing this, but the only way to put out the fire is to simply blow on it. It should be fairly obvious from the very start what would happen if you shook it.

The burnt ones are always the best. Hard and caramelised on the outside and soft and gooey in the middle :)

Toasty tastes great not the burnt ones. But yeah, the inside is still great!(:

Ouch! but at the same time, I am just glad to hear that it was your eyelid, and not a direct hit straight to the eyeball. That would have been a lot worse =/

I have to say YDI on this one. I never was in girl scouts or any other kinda youth outdoorsy type of group, and even I know that when your marshmallows light up in flames YOU BLOW THEM OUT LIKE CANDLES ON A BIRTHDAY CAKE. Seriously, why on earth would you shake it? For the record - burnt marshmallows are the best kinda marshmallows.

Gosh, that would be painful. I hope that it didn't affect your eyesight.

Just why ... Why did your instincts tell you to shake off the burning marshmellow into the (probably) flameable forrest. Also, Marshmellows taste good if you burn them a little.

When I see replies like this to moderated comments, I wonder what they said. But then, sometimes when I look at their profile, I decide its probably a good idea just to accept the other comments and move on.... But this one I'm still curious! Noor! I'm always late to these new FML parties!
