Kids are the ultimate adventure in the testing of common sense. Take todays story for example....
Kaylee, age 10, was waiting for her friend to show up so they could finish their science project. In the middle of my counter I have been burning a candle. I have done this many times before without any problems from the children. Kaylee, being completely bored out of her mind, wondered "I wonder what it would be like to put a paper towel in the candle?" So, she decided to find out. Next thing I know I here "Mom HELP" from the kitchen. I turn in time to see a nice big fire on my counter top. On my mad dash to the kitchen Kaylee decides to blow the fire out. Being a light weight paper towel, it flies everywhere. The two biggest pieces land on my only a month old bar stools which of course have fabric seats. Proceeds to start them on fire! Within a few seconds we got the fires out. Mom didn't know whether to be mad or to cry. When I asked her what she was thinking (trying to keep my temper) I got the inevitable answer of "I don't know" Needless to say she is now grounded for the rest of the week to her room with extra chores to do.
CHILDREN!!!
WOW!!!! So this one time.. not at band camp. I was sick and decided to make soup. And i turned the wrong burner on and i caught my husbands gameboy advance on fire. Nintendo makes a good product because i set it on fire, threw it into the sink and doused it in water and it STILL WORKS!
ReplyDeleteLOL. That is great! I have to ask though...what was it doing on the stove?
