Almost every kid I ever knew, including myself, had to learn lessons about fire, often the hard way.

It is a fascination most people have with flame, and most of us were lucky to rarely be more seriously injured by fire than a painful burn or some property damage of some kind.

Playing with fire is one of the things I fully support parental corporal punishment when dealing with children.

Prayers for this poor child.

Almost every kid I ever knew, including myself, had to learn lessons about fire, often the hard way.

We frequently enjoy our fire pit in the the morning or in the evening. When my grandchildren are visiting I allow them to build a proper fire with tinder, kindling, and fuel. It trains them in safety and gives them a productive outlet for their fascination with fire.
