Yes, it's true!
I always loved this old sweatshirt of Donnie's. It was an old, battleship gray, fleece, super-baggy jersey, and the most comfortable piece of clothing ever! I was wearing it one afternoon as I was cooking dinner for my family. I was fixing pork chops and mashed potatoes and I had a couple of burners going at the same time.
All of the sudden as I was reaching to stir one of the pots on the back burner I heard a SWISH and I saw a flame starting to go up my right arm. In a matter of seconds I saw the flame coming down my left arm.
OK, what would be the first thing you would think about? Mine was, "well, I can't stop, drop and roll, because I don't want to ruin my floor in my kitchen". Seriously--looking back at it now, I WISH I would have done the drop and roll in my family room on that ugly maroon carpet that I have hated forever, maybe I could have gotten it replaced!
Well, I pulled my beloved sweatshirt off and threw it into my kitchen sink I turned the water on and doused what was left of it with water. After pulling the shirt over my head, I worried that the flame had burned my hair, so I grabbed the nozzle from the kitchen sink and held it over my head until I was soaked from head to toe. I was lucky that the flame had not burned my skin at all, it just destroyed my comfy shirt.
There was water everywhere....all over the floor, the counter, the curtains....I mean everywhere!
What I did not know was that my husband had walked in the front door and saw me standing in sweatpants and my bra spraying myself with water in the middle of my kitchen. I turned around to see him laughing so hard he was almost crying. Needless to say, I had some explaining to do, along with a helluva lot of water to mop up!
