Don't underestimate the power of candles.

So my sister flipped open her laptop while a candle was sitting behind it.
Mum had placed it there before she went out, and I clearly warned her to move the candle before using the laptop.
She said okay. So I said okay, and went back to my room.

I come back to the lounge to see the candle still sitting there behind her laptop.

I ask her why she hasn't moved it.

She says she did.

I state her screen's going to die.

She checks the backside of her screen, she did move it before using th- oh snap. It melted.

......WHAT?

That's okay, she reassures, the screen looks fine.

If it'd melted in any further, the laptop would've been a goner.

Although part of me says it deserved it. It's a damn compaq.
