My Hair Caught On Fire!!!

Yes you read the title correctly!! After a great day today I was feeling all energetic and decided to make a yummy dinner! (Doesn't happen often) I also decided I would show Joe my awesome cooking skills and make something that takes a little more effort (also doesn't happen often :). Well As I was attempting to make sweet and sour chicken...the oil I was boiling to deep fry my battered chicken in caught on fire!!! (After this all happened I read the oil label which says, may catch on fire if overheated, this I didn't know!) I hurried and turned off the burner and yelled at joe and asked him what to do...he said "Hurry take it outside and dump it on the grass!! Get rid of it!!" So not trying to put the fire out in the kitchen, I listen to my husband who also doesn't know much about burning oil and I take it out and hurry and dump it on the grass before it starts burning my hand which it is about to do! As I do this a HUGE and I mean HUGE explosion happens! I am completely engulfed in flames! The dog takes off running, I shut my eyes I think I'm going to die, and Joe comes running....as well as the neighbor who sees the huge explosion of flames! AfterI realize I am not on fire, my face is okay, and I don't have third degree burns, I then reach for my hair. Oh what a sad moment in a hair dressers life... My hair is singed everywhere!!! My eyes brows are singed, and I'm lucky my eye lashes are still intact! Long story short...Apparently water makes oil explode!! Hmmmm...should have thought about that one before dumping it out onto wet grass! Now I'm very depressed about my hair...I either have to cut it, or put extensions in and try to salvage what I have...I've been trying to grow it out for a year now...and Joe makes matters ten times worse becuase he always wants it long and tells me it looks better long...Gee thanks for the confidence boost!! I'm very upset about the whole situation....even though it is a little funny now... I am VERY lucky I didn't burn my my face!! I would post a picture...but I don't think I want to remember this!! :)
