I don't really want to make a joke out of someone blowing up their hand but, if you're lighting what you think is a candle and it goes hssss...

A Connecticut mother suffered severe injuries Thursday night after lighting a "quarter stick of dynamite” that she mistook for a candle, officials said.

The incident occurred after a thunderstorm in the area knocked out power and the family unsuccessfully attempted to buy emergency lighting from a Home Depot, according to a news release from the city of Bridgeport.

“The family remembered that when they purchased their home two years ago, there were what they thought were candles left behind in the basement by the previous residents of the home,” the news release said. “She attempted to light one of what she thought was a candle and turned out to be a quarter stick of dynamite.”
