"Curiousity killed the cat" and my curiousity seemed to set me on fire running around finding some way to put it out.
For dinner, I usually have one small bowl of rice with some meat or veggies or both and possibly, the side dish soup. Today, I just had the bowl of rice and the fish. And after I decided to have a sweet dessert (I don't know how to describe it...asian food haha). Then I got curious what was in the soup. So I took another bowl out (already put my other bowl in the sink) and took a small scoop of soup. It had celery I guess, steamed and tomatoes. It tasted pretty good and on my last slurp/bite...
My brain immediately told me to spit it out and a sting shot all throughout the inside of my mouth, as if it were on fire...My tongue and my cheeks started hurting and I quickly asked for water. I took about five cups of water, which was no use. My brother kept shouting, "KETCHUP!" to me, but I simply ignored him. I was so desperate, I began to tear off a piece of two off the chicken...still no good.
"WHAT DID YOU PUT IN THAT SOUP!!!??!" I exclaimed in pain.
My mom was laughing to my dad about how I probably bit into the pepper she put into the soup for flavor. She started taking my soup and seeing what was left of my soup and found a fingernail sized green chili pepper that I bit into. I was going crazy...water...WATER...SOMETHING....AHHHHH SO SPICY!!!!
My dad brought out the mango and started cutting out pieces for me to eat and to relieve the sting in my mouth. It calmed down as I started biting and sucking onto the mango slices... After the first piece, my mouth still stung and I asked for another...a few minutes later, I was calm again and the sting my mouth neutralized...
Remind me again...to never taste anything with any hot chilli peppers and to ask my mom what she puts in the soup or food beforehand... My curiousity to see what that soup tasted like led me to run around the kitchen and dining room like crazy...STOP DROP AND ROLL! STOP DROP AND ROLL!
AHHHHHHH! -runs off the building like that one man did in Lord of the Rings- Hahaha.

Ah! That sounds painful!
Hahaha. You never know what's inside Asian food, and what's with your brother shouting, "Ketchup!"?
Interesting about the mango, though. I might try that some time (but hopefully not).
