I tried to put out a towel barehanded. The steaks in the broiler were a blaze. Opening the broiler drawer caught the hanging towel on the oven door handle. Don't you have one of those? The burning towel on the oven door handle kissed the towel on the broiler drawer handle when I shut the broiler drawer. I decided that grabbing the towel and putting in in the sink was a good idea. I was handed a big towel that had been dunked in the toilet and brought from the bathroom. So I wrapped it in a towel and don't ya know it felt like a squirming animal in my arms. It felt heavier than a towel, and had movement. Like if I had a rabid chuhuaua dog in my arms. So I juggle it to the sink and don't ya know it takes a bite at the curtains before I get running water on it. Those were fru fru curtains, ya know like be very careful or they'll rip. I had to wrench the bar off of the wall to get them off and into the running water. Man, that was enough. Next day my boss triffled at me about something first thing in the morning and i just couldn't fathom it's importance. Perspective huh?
