One morning in 6th grade while waiting in the car for Mom to drive me to school, I started fooling around with the car's cigarette lighter. No one in my family smokes, so I wasn't familar with how it worked. The engine was off, and I pushed the lighter in for a few seconds. I popped it out to see if it had turned red, and it hadn't. I assumed that because the engine was off, the lighter didn't work, and I proceeded to put my thumb on the surface of the lighter. WRONG. I burned the end of my thumb (which turned white and hard as the day went on), but I managed not to cry or make a face when my mom got in the car, because I didn't want to get yelled at for my stupidity.

I've done that EXACT same thing. Except, my mom figured it out because she got in the car and it smelled like burning flesh.
Probably, one of the dumbest things I've ever done was when I was volunteering at the library, I was cutting some paper into shapes with this big machine and some of the paper was a bit big, so I got out a rotary cutter--not knowing how to really use it--and tried to cut the paper with it. Needless to say, I wasn't paying very much attention to where I was putting the rotary cutter and sliced off the tip of my middle finger. I turned around, blood gushing out of my finger and stated simply, "I think I need a band aid." Sadly, the library freaked out and called my parents, because it was a tad bit more serious than a band aid.
How ya doing, buddy?
