Trying to find the humor


I'm irritated and angry at something that I KNOW I will laugh at someday. It's just that today is not that day. Why am I angry? Because I have to comfort my younger son, who burned his finger. Why is his finger burned? Because he and his brother were using a lighter to caramelize some Laffy Taffy they got on Halloween. Who the heck caramelizes their candy??? Apparently my kids do!

Gosh, I hope those fingers heal quickly! But seriously, I think you'll be able to laugh about it one day! I hope?

I know you don't see the humor, as I'm sure I wouldn't if it was me, but from the outside looking in.... that's kinda funny!

I've never even thought of that one.....now you have me wanting to try it. LoL

Hope he heals soon...

Ahhh, the joys of boys! I wonder if it's a boy thing to do stuff like that. My husband mentioned melting army men in a Creepy Crawler oven thing, and my son attached one of his Starwars collectible figurines to a rocket and shot it off...

Thanks everyone for providing some much needed perspective. Now I think it's funny, and so does Tucker. But when your kid wants sympathy, and you don't want to give it cuz you're pissed -- that's not a fun combination to be sure!
