This morning while I was changing Lydia's diaper I opened the blinds only to see our neighbors trash up in flames!
Lydia loves fire so she got excited by the sight while I got panicked thinking at any moment the strong wind would set the house on fire!
At least those neighbors just moved out so no one would be in the house, but since we live in a town home it's practically part of our house.
After calling 911 some kids came to try to put it out with a hose and had succeeded until the wind blew and it started back up.
Soon after the firman came and I felt sort of foolish because by that time it was a little flame.
After writing down a statement they had me try to identify the kid I saw while standing in Lydia's room giving the officers a thumbs up or thumbs down as they brought out innocent teenagers from all the surrounding houses. I found the kid I saw, who turned out not to be the one who started the fire.
Th cause: Matches to a bottle of hairspray... really smart kids, come on!
So thats what teenagers are doing these days... didn't your parents ever tell you not to play with fire!
Now my question is, who's going to clean up the mess?
