shamanic ritual? just kidding, either way OP your dad's a dick.

That's truly messed up.

damn saint nick got you good

In the future, as you are signing him into the nursing home and he asks you "why, dear God, why?!" Show him the scar and say "nurse, watch out. This one likes jokes!"

Wow, hopefully it wasn't your face

Ur dad is a douche who the hell thinks it's okay to play around a fire common sense isnt common anymore

I was burned on my right leg when I was 9 by a neighborhood bully. he did it "as a joke." When it happened, it was sheer agony! My heart rate felt like it went to 200, my pants burned into my skin and the pain was unbearable. I can not imagine being purposely pushed into a fire where you are burned on a larger area. Your dad is a major asshole.

I am so sorry, op, I home you heal faster and better than anyone expected. As for your dad, I am sure he was never expecting you to trip, and although it was a terribly stupid thing to do, he must feel really awful for causing you pain.

That's inhumane!

I don't get it - how come there are always people who would choose 'YDI' on posts? Are they just evil? :(
