Candle Explosion

[BananaTree]

So my ma lit a candle which I love until 20 minutes later when the left side of my nose erupted into flames. I had three false starts, which I never do, flailing with the collar of my shirt to cover my mouth and my necklace got in the way so I chose the crook of my elbow and finally let loose a large, loud expulsion "ECCCCH CHEEEOOOOO" high pitched at the end.

My mom says. "Oh there goes that candle. Making ya sneeze."

I'm like yeah sure whatever. I hate sneezy convo with family members. I walk away sniffling and she asks "Is that candle making your nose sneeze?"

NO MOM.

It must have been getting on your wick......

Comments like that from family members are just no, no, NO!

(PS - the topic title also reminded me of the expression "it was like an explosion in a candle factory" )

For a second I thought the flame was literally burning your nose and I was super, super worried about you! I'm glad you didn't literally catch on fire!

Hahahahahaha! Nah, it was just a strong scent. It works so fast and fills up the room in five minutes.

Ooh, what scent is the candle? Does it always bother you that much?

I used to know someone who could not go into various shops that sold these type of candles because she said it would 'set her off sneezing'. Sneezing conversations with your parents are the absolute worst!

She lit the candle again. I let out a small "Het-chuu!"

I love patchouli
