Well, well guys, today Hope (me) is going to share with you all one silly thing she has done, well it's not funny at all, it's just silly. It all happened one Saturday morning when dad had left for work and I was at home with just my siblings and there was no food at home so we agreed to prepare rice and luckily for us, there was electricity and we had an electric stove, what a great time to cook I thought, hehe.
Back then my sister and I normally take rounds for who was going to cook and it happened to be my turn that day. Well, I was happy because then I so much love cooking even when I was not good at it. That's by the way, keep reading before you look for what you want to say to make me feel bad, haha. So, we went to get all the ingredients that was needed and I started my creative, I added some cups of rice to the pot and put on the electric stove to parboil the rice and then use that that time to dice the fresh pepper and onions.
After about 20 minutes, I washed the rice and was ready to fry my ingredients and all. I put on the electric stove and I was standing close to it since that was the only way to add the ingredients of course 😅. By this time my hands was already dirty so I had to rinse it so I can start the cooking fully. I tried carrying my ingredients from behind the electric stove but then I received a very hot knack at my back, I shouted immediately, why did you hit me? Turning to look backwards to see who was that unlucky person to hit me, I did not see anyone.
I was more concerned of the food I was preparing so I just gave a warning to whoever it was that had the audacity to hit me when I'm trying to prepare a delicious meal 😜. After ranting all I wanted, I focused my mind on the diced ingredients I was trying to carry before someone hit me 😒. I was about carrying it again and I received another hit on my back, this time I almost threw away the ingredients 🤦♀️ and it made me so furious. Why did you hit me? I yelled again. But this time I accused my brother as the culprit and warned him not to try it again. He was looking so innocent but I was convinced he was the culprit for some reasons.
I was so pissed this time and gave a second warning and then I was about taking the ingredients when one of my neighbor came and asked me why was I standing in between the electric stove and the socket, I was not sure why she was asking me that question because I don't see any reason why I can't. It was then she told me that I was getting shocks and that no one was hitting me, can you imagine that? 😔 And I've blamed my innocent brother for what he knew nothing about. Immediately she told me, I left where I was standing and go to the other side and I realized that I wasn't getting hits (shocks) any more.
It was then I realized that the hit I've been receiving didn't hurt more than just few seconds unlike the normal hot that the pains can last for days, lolz. I was being so silly standing in between the electric stove and the wall socket with wet hands and forgot that it was not ideal at all. Thanks to my neighbor I'm here today writing about the story, it won't have been funny or silly if I was affected by that occurrence. Well, I'm grateful that I lived to tell the story.
That was one time when I was silly and I really do hope you got to learn from me and not make such silly mistakes. At the end I was able to finish cooking the food and it was very delicious, hehe.
See you until next time 👋
