Just another day in the life, yeah. I could think and come up with more for hours... the time my mom totaled the car, but airbags were new and we thought the car was on fire because of the "smoke" and smell. My ankle was broken, and I was 12, but I grabbed the 88 pound dog in my ARMS and ran from the car.
So is all this the origin of the name RecipeForDisaster

I’m sure there is worse, but all I can think of right now is climbing 25’ up a wet, thin hemlock tree with no ropes (in rain boots), kayaking class II rapids at flood stage in a non-whitewater boat, taking that same boat (it also was not a sea kayak) out through a confluence into the open ocean, riding any horse any time, no questions asked, as a kid, and making my F-150 max out the speedometer when I was 17 (not a closed road or anything, but nothing bad happened - not even a ticket).
I grew up in a house where we had a basement fire, which my dad tried to extinguish with Tupperware containers of water... he also mixed bleach and ammonia accidentally. And then put a running chainsaw down on his thigh "for a minute". My mom got bitten by several random dogs, strangers or her own, over the years... LOTS of ER visits for varied things. Not much seemed too crazy to me back then.
