The littlest pyromaniac

The other day I was talking to Monica in the kitchen when Esther stopped by to ask if I would make a fiwuh (fire in the fireplace). "Not right now sweetie", I said, and resumed my conversation with Monica. Suddenly I noticed a glow out of the corner of my eye, and Monica began yelling, "Esther Esther!" The little pyro had decided to try and start the fire herself, and managed to strike a match! I think she was more astonished than we were.

Fortunately no damage was done, and Esther stood there with her palms firmly against her cheeks as Monica sternly lectured her using phrases like, "could have caught Mommy and Daddy on fire", "burned the house down", and "would hurt very very bad".
