It's was a spring day in 1991 when I went over to Vivian's to meet up with Jason after he got home from school. I was hungry so I decided to fry up some French Fries on the stove. Once I put the heat on under the pan of grease on the stove I decided to go back in the den and hang out with Jason to watch music videos on TV before he started his homework. Well, as I...naaa as Jason and I  was watching the videos on TV, he got up and walked out. Then all of a sudden he came running back and yelled "Its a orange glow coming from the Kitchen. " So as we both walked towards the kitchen the glow was very bright and as we got closer, it was getting hotter. Then when we bent the corner, it was a 3 to 4 ft. fire burning from the stove and on the cabinets. We was like oh "$hit!" then we started running around trying to get something to put the fire out. So, what I do? I grabbed a cup of water and threw it on the fire 🔥. Well, the fire went from 3 - 4 ft  to 8 - 10 ft. So then we really panicked.  I think Jason grabbed the pan off the stove and of course he dropped it on the waxed lanolium floor and the pan just started sinking into the floor like quicksand. After that we opened the doors and we knew we had to call Vivian at work.......LAWD! We told her what happened and she said "Are yall ok?" and we replied "yes." She told us "I'll be there shortly." So, we in there trying to clean it up to make it look better before she arrived. We in there wiping the cabinets and the floor trying to get the black soot off. The knobs on the overhead microwave was burnt off.....it was a mess!

When Vivian walked in and looked at her kitchen......she told us to "Stop, yall done enough. " So, at this point I knew an ass chewing was coming from T and later from my dad but by some miracle that didn't happen.  We received the biggest hug and reassurance that everything was OK and she was just glad we wasn't hurt. 

And later on I realized once she knew we wasn't hurt she knew a Brand New Kitchen was coming....LOL! By us trying to clean up we made the kitchen look that much worse ....hench the new Kitchen that came.  That's just one of many stores about Vivian and I.
