Set Fire to the Rain!

   The other day i started a fire in my kitchen. I put the kettle on the stove and turned on the burner to "high". A little while later i saw smoke coming up from the bottom of the element and i thought that maybe some soup that had spilled over the other day was just getting a little brown. Two seconds later it burst into flames and i just stood looking at it because i didn't know what to do! I tried to move the kettle but it was too hot to try and grab so i just yelled at one of my house mates Rakel to come into the kitchen. She ran in and we stood and stared at it for a good ten seconds before i decided it would be a good idea to turn off the stove and grab a towel and move the water pot. The fire died down and then we just looked at each other and laughed while i spent the next ten minutes scrubbing soot off of the kettle. 

   So it's not quite like setting fire to the rain but... it's setting fire to boiling water!
