Input: Text: so, this happened on christmas eve. my wife cooked us this incredible dinner with candles and everything and as we were putting everything away to binge on some christmas movie spree, my little girl said that people couldn’t *really* put candles out with just their fingers because nobody can touch fire. this triggered something within me. here’s a chance to prove to my daughter that i am a super human being and she will love it. i tell her that i can and she doesn’t believe me, so i show her. 

i snuffed that candle out like a motherfucker, and proudly stood there with my “you see? i am a god!” eyes that i like to do when i cook a good steak, or do some cool shit in bed with my wife. i thought my daughter would be delighted, but she had her eyes wide open and she then started to blow at the table and i saw something in the corner of my eye; a little piece of the wick had broken off and fallen onto a paper napkin with christmassy shit written all over it, and my daughter pretty much caused it to ignite. being a man, i put that puny flame out with my bare hands. i just bitchslapped that fire away and my daughter was very impressed. 

all of a sudden, i feel this stinging sensation on my finger, and noticed that fucking wick got stuck to my hand. for some reason, i blew at it like an idiot, thinking it would just fly off, but it just made it glow which caused it to hurt some more and my reflexes kicked in so i flailed around like i had a fucking tarantula on me whacked my unsuspecting wife in the face and smashed my finger on the corner of [our amazing bar](https://images.crateandbarrel.com/is/image/crate/maxinebarcabinetshs15_16x9/$web_zoom_furn_hero$/170919165252/maxine-bar-cabinet.jpg) in the process. blood was everywhere, my kid’s freaking out, and so we spent christmas eve in the hospital where we had an awkward conversation about domestic abuse (well my wife did). my wife’s now got this purply yellow thing on her face and i broke my ring finger and had to get a few stitches in my middle finger too. 

i don’t think she thinks i’m so manly, to be honest. the way she told my in-laws was a bit of a giveaway but at least she likes her christmas present. 

 

edit: okay, i’ve gotten shitloads of messages calling me a shill or whatever. i literally just googled the bar. the only 2 photos i found immediately was the picture i linked and a pinterest link (and it looks like reddit are not fans of pinterest links). i didn’t realize it was from the manufacturer’s website, but there you go. the only reason i linked it is because people i’ve told this story to often asked me what i meant about the bar thing, and i’ve always had to link a photo. thought i’d avoid that with this post, but apparently that seems to have backfired in a way i never even anticipated. 

also, i’ve gotten a few really aggressive and messed up messages from some of you. let me get one thing clear; i’m not abusing my wife or my daughter, so i’d appreciate if you’d stop sending me messages accusing me of such. accidents happen, i fucked up, and i’m owning up to it here in this sub where people post stories of the dumb shit they do. i can assure you that both my wife and little girl are safe. 

edit2: thanks for the gold /u/xxxbuzz but i don’t really know what to do with it or why you’d bother gilding this. can i donate it or something?

also, i wanted to thank some of you lovely people who reached out to us in the midst of this all. i never really expected the amount of hate, but the love you’ve spread has been wonderful. happy christmas and happy new years everyone!

TIFU by giving my wife a black eye for Christmas because I wanted to prove to my daughter that I was a man
