The great bubble gum/kitchen fire disaster of 2010

Is now over and we all made it out alive.

It started out as a normal day. Came home got the wee man settled and super started. Fish in the oven. Rice on the stove. Aidan wanted gum. No big deal he chews it for 2 seconds then throws it away.

So I am working on the rice when Aidan let's out a blood curdling scream and runs out of the bedroom with his bubee gum as he calls it WRAPPED around his neck. Twice. How? I'm not sure. But a thin layer of gum covered all the little hairs on his neck.

Awesome. So I went for the ice and he screamed more. So I decided to throw him in the tub and use an alcohol pad to loosen it up. So I threw the pot to the side of the stove and took the pan out of the oven grabbed his screaming self and took him upstairs.

I spent 30 mins basically scrubbing it off of him because he went into hysterics with the alcohol pad. I got him dried off and back downstairs to get him dressed and see the kitchen FULL of smoke. So Aidan starts screaming again.

I run to the stove and see that during all the screaming I had left the eye one and threw the pot holder on the eye and the glass pan in top of it.

I grabbed the pot holder just about the time it went up in flames. Threw that in the sink turned off the eye and pushed the pan off the eye. While I was over the eye the glass pan breaks. Sounds like a shot gun. Scared the holy shit out of me. Damn near knocked myself out on the hood trying to get away. Luckily that shit didn't shatter or on top of all that I would be at the hospital right now getting shards of glass out of my face.

Oh and during all this the kitchen is full of stinky smoke and Aidan is screaming even louder. And he's naked because I havent gotten him dressed yet.

I finally got all that under control and Aidan dressed. I think he learned his lesson because now if I say bubble gum he says don't want it.

Yeah good times. Good times.
