I watch the child of a pyromaniac.


It's true.


Got your attention? Good, story time boys and girls!


One of the children we watch is a four year old little boy who drives me completely bonkers because he likes to stick toys in your face and scream at you to "Look! Look at what I got!" It's....loud. He also makes a big mess when he eats.


But he's four, so I forgive him.


Isn't that big of me? Yeah...anyway.


His mother just rented a house, the other day she was moving in things, and set a box of cleaning supplies on her stove.


That night, while she was at her other place, the power company turned on the power.


The stove was still on.


::nods slowly:: So, for those of you out there who grasp the basic concept, you probably can guess what happened.


For those of you who can't:


Cleaning Supplies + Turned On Stove = Kaboom.


They say stuff flew out the windows and landed up to thirty feet away. Major fires in the kitchen and the attic, and it blew most of the windows out.


To quote the "Statesman"


"Fire Chief Joel Stein said the force was great enough to knock out the entire front window frame."


Can you say...oops?
