This is probably a regular occurrence for the kid on the left.... It’s an old Darfurian custom to coat yourself, your guests and the cake with DEET prior to the birthday celebrations. He is probably sharing this tradition with his new adopted family. As you may know, DEET is an insect repellant and highly flammable, but tastes fantastic, especially with icing on a cake. Sometimes there are flames involved, but hey... No risk, no reward.
I watched the flaming hair twice; I've never actually seen someone covered with flames like that. Wow. Silly string is awful in the best of circumstances.
I can't believe they left so much of the crying at the end in. Nice.
Sweet.
ReplyDeleteOh MAN! That's both terrible and wonderful all at once! Happy flippin' birthday, dad!
ReplyDeleteWay to ignore that flammable warning on the can of silly string!! The smell of burnt hair and birtday cake must have been vomit inducing.
ReplyDeleteYIKES!

ReplyDeleteYeah I've had this happen to me and I am reasonably certain this guy swore. I know I did.
ReplyDeleteMy family thought it'd be funny and a real surprise. It was.
Three foot high flames licking at your face tend to be surprising.
P.S.
If he's anything like me he pointed out the flammable warning to the idiots after his hair stopped smoldering.

I have always found it fun to regrow eyebrows. That in-between period is so attractive.
