When Mike was in the 4th grade, he set his bedroom on fire. He was playing his Sega Game Gear, and it was plugged into the wall and it overheated and caught on fire. But he was in mid-level, and it was before the days where you could save your game, so if he stopped he was going to have to start over again at the beginning.
So he kept playing.
The curtains caught on fire.
Then it moved to the bedspread and he thought he might want to let his parents know.
Pretty soon, most of the bedroom was singed.
He was pissed. He totally had to start that entire game over again.
When he tells this story, and you say to him, "Oh my God, Mike, what the hell?" he says, "Come on! It was a Sega! Sega's burned a lot of places down! Their cooling systems SUCKED!"

boys are just plain dangerous.
I just listened to my dad tell several stories of stuff he caught on fire as a kid playing with matches. Where's Smokey the bear when you need him?
my hubby just told me that his house was on fire, and he and his brother were watching cartoons. His dad yelled at them to get out of the house, but they asked if they could wait until commercials. hahah!
boys!
William was playing w/ a tissue by a candle. It caught fire. It fell on the sofa. He was screaming to me, "TISSUE!" i got annoyed, because I thought he just wanted me to wipe his nose. Finally after hearing the panic in his voice, i came to see the fire. Luckily it was still small, and I was able to get it out. Now we practice saying< "FIRE!" not "Tissue". :)
OH MY GOSH! I can't believe it! Boys are so funny!
