ME: "Where's Colton?"

AB: "He's over at Matthew's house making a fire."

ME: "Uh, what?"

AB: "Don't freak out Mom. He just has a magnifying glass and some leaves."

ME: (incoherent spazzing)

AB: "How about I go down there and get him?"

ME: "Yes that would be very nice."

(2 minutes later the door slams)

COLTON: "Hi Mom!"

ME: (incoherent spazzing)

Lighting fires with a mirror. Doesn't every boy try that at one time in their childhood?! I mean I was an ant hole frying freak when I was younger.

Maybe you could make use of his abilities and have him hit up the pile of branches in the back yard!

LOL - that would be one way to get rid of that mess!

And ants were involved, too. He got a lecture on how it's his responsibility as a human to never intentionally harm another creature - however defenseless/annoying/repugnant - without good cause.

Thus ensuring he never tells me anything again, ever.
