Grabbed the frying pan handle, opened the sliding door to the backyard, and while going down the little step, the frying pan handle had melted off and the pan slid off the handle pouring the burning oil onto my my right thigh. Burned through my pants and had me out of school for two weeks. Still have scars from that.

I also dumped scalding water on me as a toddler, and stuck a fork through my cheek. But those are stories for another time..lol
