How to Approach the Scotch Bonnet

What is the spiciest thing you have ever eaten? I am typically averse to spicy food, but my mother has a tongue of Caribbean fire. I remember when I was younger she took my brother, cousin, and me out to dinner. The place was a fast-casual chicken spot that had varying degrees of spicy flavor that could be used to dress the chicken. Naturally, she chose the spiciest and something about that day convinced us that we could challenge her taste buds. Unfortunately she laughed at us for the rest of the evening as we cried with red faces, burnt mouths, and a diet of break and milk to soothe the flames that one bite of her chicken served us!
