Five Year Old Pyro

OK, so now teach him how to light it with his thumbnail! That is phase 2. Phase 2 becomes not such a good idea when some of the match ignites under the finger nail. However, it is a confirmation of the pyro's Rite of Passage. Phase 3 is illegal fireworks. At 43, I still recall the picture on the box of the half burnt stick matches that my dad found in the yard. I decided to light the whole box on fire, but was too stupid to destroy the evidence. What is even worse, I hid it behind the stack of firewood:eek:. To this day, dad never believed me that it was not burning when I placed it there. :( I was in a lot of trouble that day. I was probably 6 yrs. old. LOL. Thanks for the memories.:p
 
Now all he needs is a knife

She's going to have you in the woods wondering where that piece of gear might have fallen off... :D

Hmm...I thought I'd fastened that buckle before I left...

I remember finding my first book of matches..... i had a bright idea to run up to White Hen and buy some snakes they sell at the counter around July 4th. These are the little black pellets that expand into snake-like form when lit.
I lit them all in the empty bathtub and it left burn marks all over the tub in addition to lighting the entire box of matches.
I turned myself in to the authorities (Mom and Dad) and took my punishment like a man. Didn't need a chair for a week!
 
In the bathtub?! Oh man, I can picture the carnage.

Didn't those things smoke a ton while burning too? :D

We've continued to work on the matches every day and I think some of the mystery is starting to go away.

The thrill's still there though! :cool:

It's all over call it quits now!:DI remember one of my first knives that I "borrowed" from my dad.:o
