Provo UT summer of '07 riding on my sister's puka bike,

while she screamed and cried because she was sure I'd break it.

Have you ever had any major kitchen disasters?

I was a witness to when my dad forgot to let the pressure cooker slowly release its pressure and he took the lid off too early. Mashed potatoes exploded from it and we had to scrape them off the floor, wall, and ceiling. Also, while carrying the frozen turkey into the kitchen it accidentally got dropped onto my sister's toes and broke them. Whoops!
