Coleman Heater
My family traveled a lot throughout Europe with our little green camper. My sister and I had lousy sleeping bags, so at night we would heat the camper with a Coleman heater. When our parents cane home, they would turn the heater off and go to bed. This worked perfectly until I decided that I was tired of waking up in the middle of the night freezing. I hid the cover to the heater under my dirty clothes. Later that night, as it glowed red hot, my mom accidently sat on it while undressing. Her scream probably woke up half the campground. The next morning she showed me a perfect grid from the top of heater seared on her butt.
