That's me! Cooked supper last night, two of them :) And while cooking the spaghetti for the kids, I was distracted while stirring and stirred my poor fingers in the frothing, boiling water. Got a burn that is not terrible but quite bad enough and all blistered. I am such a baby about burns. Give me labour pains any day, but burns, I am a total wimp. So, I'm wimping around the kitchen with my "good" finger in a cup of water and still trying to "cook". Then, the water in the cup is getting warm and I am hurting - so I figure, I'm smart, I'll just put in an ice cube or two to keep the water chilly while I'm finishing. Well, that might have been a good theory, but knowing my nature I should have thought twice. What happens to something moist when it hits cold, cold metal? IT FREEZES TO IT!!! That's what happened when I tried to get ice - right on the entirity of my burnt flesh. Now, had I been thinking, I would have put a little water on it to get free. But, no I panicked. And I ripped it off. It hurt too much for me to even utter a scream. Owwwwwwwwww.
Anyway, I am fine now, and find the whole scenario kind of comical, so feel free to laugh at my expense :) And hopefully, you'll remember story if you ever need burn first aid.

Oh man! While it does some comical the way you describe it, I'm sure it was not funny and hurt more than a little bit! Hope it's better!
I am the same way. I could cut myself on my scissors but the minute I touch my flatiron I could cry!
