When I was about 6 I was home alone with my father and he was drunk. He wasn't watching me so I tried to climb up on the counter and grab the oreos. Before I knew it, the drawer I was standing on moved and I fell backwards and my arm hit this pan that was on the stove and it had boiling water in it ( he was making hot dogs ). The pan flew through the air and before I knew it almost a quart of boiling water covered my forehead, arms, and shoulder. I went to the emergency room and had to stay out of school for three week because I had second degree burns on my foreams and third degree burns on my forehead and shoulders. When you get a third degree you can't even feel it because it burns off the nerves just like magnolia said. In my case, I can feel everything now but when it happened I couldn't even feel my hand touching my skinless forehead. Burns suck ass!
