Awkward Accessories
I was around 10 at the time at a 4th of July cookout at my uncles house. Everyone’s having a good time, fireworks, grill going, all the good 4th of July stuff. So my cousin breaks out a bag of marshmallows for us to start roasting and obviously nothing capitalizes on a cookout like making s’mores.
But, no sooner than we get the marshmallows on the sticks then do we hear all sorts of sirens going off. So, three of us, ages between 10-15 go running through the woods towards his neighbors house to discover that it is, in fact, on fire.
I have no idea how the fire started or really anything that happened in regards to that family or their possessions, if the house was saved, I know nothing/can’t remember anything.
But what I will never forget is, what I assume to have been, the mother/wife of the home’s mortified look when she saw three young boys standing next to her burning home holding marshmallows on sticks. Story credit: Reddit / ghostofone1
