My son came home tonight, after hockey practice. On Thursdays, they go out with Other Parent for dinner (we do one week on, one week off). The fire in the fire place was out, and I was done trying to get it to burn, so I let it go out.
My son came in and said..."so you are done with the fire?"
Me: Yes... Tried. It was burning when you left... I've been tending it... can't keep it going... I let it go out."
And he said... "Well, as dad says, you have to be smarter than whatever it is you are working with."
