Well not really, but my grandma almost burned Tacos. Other than that, we're a pretty safe family. Heh.

No. Our smoke alarms are more like cooking alarms.

I've caught on fire before. Or my sleeve did anyways.

On a side note, messing around with bug spray and zippo lighters is always bad, no matter what your friends did.

Unfortunately for me and the family, as a youngster, I've done some pretty stupid things in my life. To actually post makes me feel extremely bad about ALL the mistakes I've made.
But that is the past and now, I'm a great artist, gamer, and I make the best cereal in history.

Just out of boredom, I've actually grabbed a napkin, (might be the weakest kind of paper in the world) and set it just above a candle. The aim was to see if the napkin would make a slight hole in it all from the smoke...It was a complete fail.

-Note: I was only 5 and it completely curious about some things; as are all toddlers.

This completely goes against my last quote on my profile...I think I'm going to change it.

Haha. Same here. A bunch of times my mom forgets to turn on the vent fan and we end up opening the doors and fanning the alarms.

Yes, I live in an apartment and I used to have this neighbor. She was constantly setting things on fire, really stupid things. Suprisenly she never set my whole building up in flames. Set her dryer, bed, fridge, napkins, son, and carpet on fire. Those are only the ones I know about. So with smoke alarms going off constantly, I spent ALOT of time outside O_o

My house is actually made of fire. We have water alarms, to make sure our home isn't extinguished. It's quite cozy in the winter, and we never have to worry about pests. On the downside, I always smell like smoke. I don't mind that so much, but the odor can be a little off-putting to some people.

So, I guess my answer would be "yes".

My mom burnt half the house(Literally) making chicken nuggets.

The kids had both the tv's at max and she was in their room, then she had the nuggets on a skillet. She left them there and went to check on the kids. She caught up on a cartoon. I was coming home from school and I saw smoke coming from my house and a fire truck. Thank god everyone was safe.

The closest my family has been was probably a few years ago, I was cooking and i accidentally lit a towel on fire. I just threw it into the sink and put it out quickly.

Last year, when I put some fries in the oven. The oven nearly caught on fire, but I put it out with water.

Accidentally left microwave running for like 20 minutes and then it started to smoke. I didn't realize until I heard the alarm. -Facepalm-
