When I came back later and picked it up, there was a thin crack down the whole side of the mug. I rotated the mug, looked at the crack sadly, and wondered aloud how that could have happened.<br />My five-year-old nephew spoke up at once. "Well, my <i>mother</i> didn't do that."<br />Y'know, until he spoke it never occurred to me to blame her (or anyone else). And after he spoke, I never doubted that she had done it.<br /><br />I'm glad your house (and family!!!) were okay.The Merryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09660495393832517684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917428205224357542.post-64362735099403292722011-01-13T22:38:01.611-06:002011-01-13T22:38:01.611-06:00I'm glad it wasn't him. :) Watch that patc...I'm glad it wasn't him. :) Watch that patch of grass. It'll grow more readily than everything eles around it. Contained fire is useful that way.Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917428205224357542.post-89605357113984179462011-01-13T09:41:04.825-06:002011-01-13T09:41:04.825-06:00Cat, what i think happened is the kids thought if ...Cat, what i think happened is the kids thought if they set fire to the grass, it would travel across the field and ignite the school, and if there is no school, there is no going to school. Just how the young child mind thinks.<br /><br />Really the field has no houses over there, just the school building, quite on the other side, and the trees. Probably at worst it would have damaged our little "forest".<br /><br />It is interesting conversations around here, and i'm glad for once my little pyromaniac is totally cleared.<br /><br />Everyone could use a 14 day respite, including you.messymimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10649529601786689712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-917428205224357542.post-82281964870714004222011-01-13T09:06:22.423-06:002011-01-13T09:06:22.423-06:00Oh.

Deservedly or not, it can make for some INTERESTING conversations. <br /><br />And yes, a 14 day respite from chaos just might be good for you!!!<br /><br />Just happy that the fire didn't catch anything like a house or some such on fire...<br /><br />CatCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16085463730809297977noreply@blogger.com
