A day of disasters!

Last evening, I got home from work...and was watching tv eating some snacks.After a little while I went to the the kitchen to drink some milk.I took the milk which was in a vessel and kept it on the gas on high flame to heat it.
Normally, when I heat or boil milk, I stay in the vicinity.
Yesterday, I thot while the milk is heating let me just go and watch tv for a few seconds.
I started surfing channels, finding nothing suitable to watch, I settled down to watching TOM & JERRY.I saw abt 10 mins of it and then I could get some burning smell.I rushed out of the room and I could see the dining area which leads to our kitchen all smoky, and only then it occurred to me that I had conveniently forgotten about the milk.
The entire kitchen was engulfed in smoke and the milk pot was empty(all the milk having overflown) and it had turned completely black like soot.Immediately turned off the gas and opened all the windows.It took almost an hour for the smoke to settle down.
Soon after that, my maid came home to make dinner, and while I was removing eggs from the fridge to give her, SPLOT.. fell two eggs one after another.. in quick succession!
(My mom had aptly nicknamed me butterfingers!)
Well this was just one of those days you wish that never was!
