Do kids even watch cartoons these days, or do they go into scrolling withdrawal before the first commercial break?

I did the lamp thing once. The temp went up to 42 Celsius, and my mom thought I was dying. She wanted to call the ambulance, and I had to come clean. Fun times.
She knew
She probably did and was basically calling my bluff. Either way, it worked, and I crumbled like the liar I was.
Close to the edge of believable. Pretty sure I hit 106F as a kid once. 107F is bordering on dain bramage.
I had an ice bath once at 107, shit, and I don’t even remember why
The memory was burned out of you.
