Fourth of July... IN NOVEMBER?????
Mitch watched Krystel for about an hour and a half today (Wednesday) cause she was sleeping, and we didn't want to wake her, while we went down to Josh's to watch a movie. So when we came back, I started heating up water for Mitch to do the dishes. (Our hot water heater isn't working too well right now, and it's kinda like the old days when they had to heat up water just to take a bath or do the dishes.) I put a bowl of water in the microwave, and a big pan with water in it on the back left burner of the stove. It was all going just fine, and I was on the phone with Wyndy, having a good conversation, and Mitch was standing at the sink rinsing dishes (with cold water) to make them easier to wash, when all of a sudden, the stove starts shooting off fireworks! I started screaming, Mitch jumped about a mile into the air, and I handed the phone to Will so I would quit screaming into Wyndy's ear. Will told Wyndy what was up, and asked her if she could call back in like 20 minutes. Meanwhile, Mitch had gotten the stove turned off. (Brave Man) So, I went to call Gail to tell her that our stove had pretty much just blown up, and Will went back to feeding Krystel, and Mitch, well, he kinda sat there on the couch smoking a cigarette feeling a little shaken from the whole thing which Krystel thought was funny!! After I got off the phone with Gail, I went to look at the metal pot that had been (and still was) sitting on the stove. It was leaking water. Turns out there was a "bullet hole" in the pot that wasn't there before the stove decided to give us a fireworks show. Damn I hate electric stoves. Unfortunately for me, my house is only rigged for electric stoves. Well, wasn't that a "shocking" experience???
