    Me: what do you do in the event of a fire?

    Genius: I’d be in the pool, i’in’t? /Taps head

      I set my bath pillow on fire once - while I was in the bath. I was well impressed with my quick thinking just to yank in down into the bathwater to put it out. My partner was too unimpressed with my stupidity/carelessness to appreciate my quick reflexes!

        What in the fuck could you possibly be doing where you find yourself in a situation where your pillow is on fire? While bathing?

        I’m with your partner on this one.

          Candles around the bath! One behind my head got a bit out of control and caught the bath pillow. It was made from something super flammable (or inflammable?) so it went up quickly. It singed a few hairs and the pillow was ruined, but no injuries or damage otherwise!

            super flammable (or inflammable?)

            Both mean the same thing! Thanks to the confusing English language, we have to use “non-flammable” to make it clear that something is NOT flammable/inflammable.
