When I was in middle school, I had a friend over and decided to make nachos. I didn't really know about oven settings, so I decided to turn it onto "broil". I set the timer for five minutes like my dad did. Fortunately I checked the oven before the oven too caught on fire.

I was calm enough to grab the tray from the oven (with mitts on!) and to dump the flaming nachos into the sink and to run water over them.

I'm still not certain if my parents know about this.
