Today, I tried to vacuum to surprise my mom with a clean house. The vacuum started shorting out, sparked, and then burst into flames mid living room. FML

I think you will still succeed in surprising her...

Cook some s'mores over the fire and surprise her with those.

At least you tried, but I'm not sure your mother will allow for there to be a next time if she takes this the wrong way

That's what happens when you try to be nice

That must be a sucky situation to be in

'I'm a firestarter, twisted firestarter!'

It's not your fault, things like this happen. If it was shorting out it was likely a old vacuum. Your heart was in the right place.

Fireworks are always a great surprise.

From my experience, that's pretty much just how vacuums work.
