Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I wanted to impress my girlfriend with a cool fire breathing trick I learned online, and ended up burning half her room. FML
Today, I was showing my grandson how to blow out the candles on his birthday cake. I got a little too close and set my hair on fire. The candles remained lit but my grandson was too terrified to go near them after the whole ordeal. FML
Today, I came home to find my eight-year-old son had basically set fire to the kitchen, after trying to practice some kind of stupid shit he'd seen on TV called "fire bending." FML
Today, I found out how it feels to have my groin catch fire due to a magic trick going wrong. FML
Today, I burned myself while cooking, so I asked my mom to get the burn cream while I waited in the kitchen. While I was waiting, I absentmindedly set my hand on the hot stove, earning myself a second burn. FML
Today, my daughter somehow got a hold of the lighter we keep on top of the fridge. I found this out when she snuck up behind me and thought it would be fun to set my hair on fire. FML
Today, after many hours of practice, I tried to demonstrate my magic tricks to my friends. What wasn't part of the show was accidentally setting my pants on fire and having to put it out with a glass of red wine. 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, after spending 2 years growing out my hair, rubbing in oils to make it strong and healthy so I could shave it off and donate to a cancer charity to make wigs, I had a mishap at work with a car's cracked petrol tank. I now have 2nd degree facial burns and like 90% of the hair is burned away. FML
Today, my 6-year-old daughter touched a tray I'd just pulled out of the oven. I quickly swatted her hand away, but then noticed she wasn't hurt or burned at all. I then gingerly touched the tray and got scalded. My daughter giggled maniacally as I screamed. To be honest, I'm now terrified of her. FML

Why were you trying to show a 4 year old a magic trick with fire anyways? Hope you'll both heal soon.

I really hope it stopped at the hair and she didn't get burnt as well. No offense towards you, but I'm more sympathetic towards the child.

Well at least you taught her a valuable lesson about the consequences of playing with fire.

I hope you both heal soon! But honestly fire should be nowhere near children! Besides the fact that it's dangerous, you don't want her to wander off on her own and try to attempt your tricks. I hope you learned your lesson OP!

I'm sorry, but why the **** were you near a four year old with open flames? Do you usually casually endanger the lives of small children, or was this an exception? I honestly want to punch you in the face for that decision.

I hope she didn't have to go to the doctor. They're legally obligated to call child protective services when kids come in with out of the norm injuries. Have fun with that.

Maybe practice first next time, so you have your shit together?
