Oh boy, are you in trouble. You will probably get grounded for a week, and have to do extra chores

Phaëthon, in Greek mythology, son of Helios, god of the sun, and of the nymph Clymene. Helios had rashly promised to grant his son anything he wished, and Phaëthon chose to drive the chariot of the sun across the sky. Vainly Helios tried to explain to him that no mortal could drive the chariot; Phaëthon, however, insisted that his father keep his promise. Helios, after explaining the dreadful hazards, reluctantly yielded. Soon Phaëthon realized that his father had been right. Terrified, he lost control of the horses, and driving too near the earth set it on fire. To save the world from utter destruction, the god Zeus hurled his thunderbolt at the rash young driver, killing him instantly. Phaëthon fell to earth and according to legend was buried on the banks of the Eridanus River (now Po River).

Yeah, I know, I felt the imbalance in the fabric of the Universe all the way into the twenty-third dimension. And it took all of ten MINUTES to fix what you messed up! You stay away from those horses before I have words with your father!
