As a 6 year old, my grandfather turned 60. Never slept well, so I was awake at night. Went downstairs, got a candle and my stepfathers lighter and lit it for my grandfather. Was watching it dance while I blew lightly at it; fascinating to look at. I picked the candle up, not knowing about the hot wax, which I realized when I was halfway through the room already, and I dropped the candle on the carpet. Panicking and in awe, I started dancing on it, but the flames kept spreading. Went to get a glass of water in the kitchen and threw it over the carpet. There was a hole the size of a plate in the carpet.
Scared, I went upstairs and told my mother what happened and she came downstairs, patted me on the head, and put me back to bed.
Insurance covered it.
That is the only thing I believe I broke of value.
What makes you roll your eyes every time you hear it?
