We had a potluck dinner today at our church.
I was holding this styrofoam plate (the kind that has all those compartments in it) and was helping myself to a bit of salad. Paying more attention to what my grandkids might be doing, rather than what I was doing.
This woman started yelling at me “Set your plate down on the table! Set your plate down! Set your plate on the table!” I looked at my plate. Flames were coming up from the upper right corner. Little black ashes flying everywhere.
Apparently, I’d held the plate over a lit candle in the centerpiece. Dang!
So then, this woman loudly calls down to the beginning of the food line, “Can we have a new plate here? Someone has gone and set her plate afire down here.” Nothing like calling the entire congregation’s attention to my boo boo.
Then my husband accidentally dipped his tie into the soup. Our grandkids laughed so hard at the pair of us. You can’t take us anywhere, I guess.
Have you done anything like this?
Zinnia, the fire went out when I set the plate on the table. The lady who’d yelled out for another plate then set the new plate under the one I’d half destroyed.
And the little black bits of soot went around and around for several minutes.
I let out a brown yawn at my last Thanksgiving dinner and blamed it on the dog.

Well once I spilled my pop at a McDonald’s. It was a nice McDonald’s with granite floors and granite counter tops. They gave me a new one and I cleaned it up with my napkins.
One time my hair set on fire at a graduation dinner from the centerpiece. That wasn’t embarrassing tho. Everyone laughed, and no one even remembers now. Someone threw water on my hair.
What did you do to get the fire out?

Oh, it sounds like you had a horrible plate burning experience! But, at least you gave your grand kids something to laugh about
I had one pretty embarrassing thing happen to me when I was younger. I was a teenager so, a very impressionable time.
I had a crush on one of my brother’s friends and he had him over at our house for a party. I was helping to get the drinks on the table and opened. I grabbed a huge jug of apple cider and I was going to pour myself a cup. Well, I figured I should shake the jug a bit to mix the cider. I started shaking it and the top popped off and the cider spilled all over me. It even went in my hair!
Of course, the guy that I liked had to be standing right there and my brother had to say “nice going!” to me. I was so embarrassed that I couldn’t say anything. I just wiped up the cider and went to my room for the night. Years later, I laugh about it now!
Thanks for sharing your funny story and Merry Christmas!
