(no subject)
I got back from grocery shopping with my mom today, and Ross helped us carry all the groceries in. We were going to eat lunch before we put them away, so he piled them all over the counters and the stove. And then a few minutes later he went outside, and my mom came in and shoved some more bags on the stove.
Which turned on.
Lighting the bags on fire!
So I turned OFF the stove and put OUT the fire and said (a little peevishly, because I don't like FIRES), "Could we please not put things on the stove?!"
To which my mom responded, in her best you're-being-ridiculous voice, "Now, don't get upset. Just calm down."
To which I responded, "Things were just on FIRE in our HOUSE. I don't think the appropriate response here is, 'You're over-reacting'!!!"
Oh, my family.
