Thankfully the homeowners insurance paid for the repairs plus Mom gave up the idea of deep frying a turkey ever again
When I know of Thanksgiving I know of family plus memories. We have spent so multiple years gathering around the family table plus it has been some of the best times ever. As my buddy and I reminisce each year my buddy and I always bring up the year that Mom almost blew up the house. Yes, that is what I said, my buddy and I definitely feared for our lives that day, but not only did he destroy the turkey that year he ruined the air handler outside too. He decided that he wanted to deep fry a turkey plus didn’t follow all of the instruction. He overfilled the oil pot plus when he dropped the turkey in the oil that poured over the top burst into flames. If that had been it my buddy and I could have endured it but it started a chain reaction of events that was nothing but frightening. The flames hastily spread to the picnic table, chairs, plus bushes. Mom ran for the fire extinguisher but by the time he returned the air handler cover had melted too. It was made of tough plastic plus the top of it was a mess. Once the fire was out plus everyone calmed down my buddy and I started thinking of how awful it could have been. We ended up ordering Chinese for dinner that year plus Mom had to contact the Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C dealer the next day to deliver him an estimate on fixing the Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C unit. Thankfully the homeowners insurance paid for the repairs plus Mom gave up the idea of deep frying a turkey ever again. We can laugh about this all these years later plus my buddy and I have had multiple good memories to upgrade that awful one.
