She turned on the gas and opened that big mouth of an oven door and stuck her head in... with her hat firmly in place.
It must of been quite a sight mother down on all fours, trying to fit her head in without knocking her hat off...
Oh dear I shouldn't laugh...
Well, after she'd been in there for ten minutes or so, getting groggier and groggier, something went wrong.
The paper machè trinkets on her hat began to sizzle and explode like little firecrackers.
Within moments the entire hat was in flames. she came to like a shot and raced to the sink... her head actually cooking!
She turned on the water full blast... Her hat and her hair was consumed... but she survived.
She joked about it afterwards... after the hospital stay and plastic surgery... about almost having barbecued herself like some amazing delicacy... some exotic roast!
"I BET I WOULD HAVE TASTED DAMNED GOOD!", she used to say, smacking her lips.
My mother is very beautiful, you know... she's so beautiful... people turn around.
