Kids: Today, my 6-year-old daughter touched a tray I'd just pulled...

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

Today, I accidentally touched a hot pan and, like any normal person would, jerked my hand back. My mom saw, yelled at me for being a "prissy princess" and then proceeded to stick her whole hand on the hot pan for a full 5 seconds. FML

The blame game

Today, I asked my girlfriend to stop her preschooler from playing in the kitchen when I'm cooking dinner. She bitched about how I'm "controlling and micromanaging". As she did so, he put his hands on the hot oven and screamed in pain. She then shrieked that it was my fault he hurt himself. 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, I got burned, all because the toaster scared me while I was holding a pot of boiling water. FML

Today, I was showing my 4 year old some of my fire magic tricks. I ended up getting 2nd degree burns on my left hand and burnt off half of her hair. FML

Today, I was at the grocery with my 4 year-old daughter. She needed me to tie one of her shoes so I bent down. When I was done, I tickled her under the armpit, and she screamed, "Don't touch me there!" Everyone in the store turned to stare. FML

Today, I went to kiss my girlfriend on the neck while she was cooking on the stove. Apparently I scared her and now I have a nice burn mark on my head from the hot frying pan she hit me with. 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 daughter was playing outside. I was watching her from the window, and I saw her pick up a dead bird. I ran outside to grab her. As I picked her up and started scolding her, she tried to scratch my face. In the attempt, her hand went straight into my mouth. FML

Today, while cooking, I managed to burn my finger. I quickly turned the tap on and ran my finger under cold water, but apparently someone had just used the hot tap, because boiling water flooded out onto my nicely scalded finger. FML

Maybe she was just about to touch it, but you reacted fast enough that she didn't have time to make full contact, and you simply thought she did? If not, I'm cueing the X-Files theme.

You've raised an evil genius, congratulations, OP! You should be very proud!

she may have that thing where she can't feel pain... it's weird

She's 6 years old. I think her mom would have figured that out by now.

Also the OP said she didn't see any burns. People with CIPA (that's the name of the condition) feel no pain but can still be physically injured.

My brother did the same thing to me with a light bulb... He put his fingernail on it so that it didn't hurt him and made me believe the light bulb wasn't hot when I went to touch it normally. :(

Not much of a twist. OP is grown too.

It's interesting to see all the game of thrones fans coming out for this one. Glad to know how many of us are out there.

The internet is, apart from cat content, mostly filled with fandoms and ****. It's where those two mix that things get scary.

Either she didn't actually touch it, or she has a higher pain tolerance than you.

It's possible her hands were wet - quickly and lightly touching a very hot object with water on your hands creates a layer of steam between the hand and object which partially insulates the hand from harm. Think of the old test for checking an iron is hot - lick the finger and lightly and quickly touch the hot iron, it sizzles but doesn't hurt f it's done lightly and quickly.
