Yeah. The title says it all.

So by the time I'm writing this out, this happened a little over 3 hours ago.

Allow me to set the scene...
It's a normal Wednesday, it's only about 3:00 in the afternoon, and I'm just chilling on the couch while watching Netflix, trying to keep warm in the cold winter. My sister is laying on the couch, trying to take a nap after the dentist appointment she had just had a couple hours ago. Suddenly, I hear rushing water...loud rushing water. But I simply brush it off, thinking that someone had turned on the hose that was just beyond the wall, or someone was taking a bath upstairs. But after a minute or two, it suddenly hits me "that's *too* loud." So I get up and look over at the wall where I hear the water coming from, only to find that water is gushing from where the wall meets the ceiling, and there a big puddle on the floor. So I sprint over to the kitchen and tell my mom to come over. Upon seeing that Niagara Falls has emerged from our wall, my mom goes and wakes up my dad (who works nights) while I go get a big bowl to stop the water from spilling all over the floor. My dad shuts off the water, but by the time he does, there is a centimeter or water, all OVER the floor...

So then, how is this the closest I've ever come to frostbite?

Well, because the water was all over the floor, me and my sister brought in about 7 towels and placed them all over the floor to soak up the water. And because there was water all over the floor, we had to walk barefoot in order to not get our  socks or slippers wet. After the towels had soaked up a lot of the water, it was me and my sister's job to wring them out because all the water would've over worked the dryer. This is where the closest-to-frostbite thing comes in. It was my job to stand in the bathtub and wring out the towels first, while my sister would wring them out next to catch the water I couldn't get. The water was SO COLD that after a couple minutes, we couldn't bend our fingers and our entire hands were the color of Roses. And it wasn't just our hands, me and my sis had to walk barefoot on our tile floor while an a centimeter of cold water is flooding the floor, the heats not on because we can't afford it, and ITS -6 DEGREES OUTSIDE

And guys...the PAIN. Do you guys know WHY frostbite is so painful? Well, it's because when your limbs are under such freezing temperature, your blood kinda freaks out and tries to warm your limbs up as fast as it can, which is exactly why it's so painful. Our fingers and feet felt like we were being stabbed with needles, j-just really painful....so yeah

That's was the closest I've ever come to having frostbite. I hope you guys found this story amusing and enjoyed my suffering. Tell me what you think!
