Burnt to a Crisp!

*POOF*
Another near-death experience

Oh wow... Today was one of the more interesting days I've had in a while. It all ended with my most recent "near-death" experience... My mom told me to go "fire up the grill" so we could cook the hot dogs for dinner right? Okay! So I got outside to turn the grill on and turn all three knobs to the "lighting" position. I press the ignition buttion and nothing happens. So I walk back inside (mind you that the grill is still on...) to get a lighter that my dad's using to light the fire in the wood stove. I grab it and run outside to go light the grill (which is still on...) I lift the grill plate so I can get a better angle. I fire up the lighter and stick it in the grill...
POOF!
I'M COMPLETELY COVERED IN FLAMES!
 
I scared the mess out of myself! The flames covered my head and my arms! I jumped back while screaming because I thought I was on fire right? Oh boy! I run back inside and start freaking out! I can smell the burnt hair from my arms and head (parts of my eyebrows and some of the few eyelashes I have...). I finally calm down after my dad goes out to finish the grill (turning each knob one at a time...).

Near death experiences are not fun... especially when you lose some hair over it. :(

(By the way! Burnt hair is the worst smell in HISTORY!!! Not even baby/horse/dog poo smells worse.... and that says something...)
