[QUOTE="Star*, post: 375903, member: 4964"] Funny story.........and true. When Dude was a baby - about 18 months old. I had left him for just a second to play in the fenced in front yard and he got into fire ants. I. WAS. LIVID. Oh that doesn't even begin to cover my anger, ire. I rushed out, grabbed him, hosed him off, while tossing off his clothes and also being bitten in the process...then into the kitchen and rubbed him down like a London Broil with Adolphs, gave him Benadryl, and a popsicle. He fell asleep shortly after and I went out armed to the hilt to avenge my son. My ONLY near infant son. I grabbed the kerosene. I got a box of strike on matches...I found the mound of evil doers, and I poured and I poured and I poured (5 gallons of kerosene) on this mound and much to the surprise of my Amish neighbor man in his late 70's? I struck the match yelling "DIE YOU EVIL B'turts." and ............((((((((((((WHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOSH)))))))))) Up went my yard, and flames went up, and up and up...and over and he's got his hose and I got mine and the neighbor on the other side has his.....and 911 was called (I mean what idiot nibby nose had to call THEM? UGH we had it under control, it wasn't like the plains of the Sudan were on fire or anything - it was MY yard for Pete's sake) and well long story short? I got a lecture, a warning...a date offer (yeah he was a gooood looking fireman) and a new lawn in three-five weeks. The park was a great place for Dude until we had lawn back. No I didn't take the fireman up on his offer, although in hindsight - should have. Now THAT would have been a FIRE worth trying to put out. (ahem) [/QUOTE]
