Brittany's Senior 365

Late tonight was the biggest event of the day. when I was working on some homework, it was pretty late and I was feeling a little hungry. I decided to put a tortilla in the toaster oven because I always do it - I toast it so it gets hard and then I can break it up like it's pita chips! It's delicious! This time however, things got a little haywire. After about a minute in the toaster, I smelt something funky. I went over to the toaster and I realized that half of my tortilla was black! In a panic, I tried to turn off the toaster but instead things took a turn for the worse... my tortilla burst into flames! Right there in the toaster oven! I tried to unplug it but the cord was too close to the side of the toaster oven and it was really hot! I opened up the little door to try and get the tortilla out with some tongs, but when that happened, the fire grew about 2 feet and started to hit my cabinets right above it! So of course, I shut the dang door. I didn't know what to do with this fire in my kitchen so I did what any girl would do, I yelled for my dad! I called him twice but he didn't answer. I yelled, "Dad! I need your help!"... still no answer. Finally I yelled at the top of my lungs, "FIRE!" and both of my parents came to the rescue and my dad put the fire out while my mom and I opened up all the door and windows to let out the smoke. They weren't mad that I had burnt the toaster oven to bits, they were just happy that nothing else got burned in the process (except for maybe the tortilla, haha). Needless to say after that fiasco however; the Muller family's toaster will never be the same!
