Tim is Ticked!

I finally broke it to Timothy yesterday that his favorite playground in Winfield burned to the ground. I expected about 400 questions, but I didn't expect the strong reaction that I got. With arms crossed in the back seat of the car, he demanded to know who did it, how old they were and where they lived. First, he was just going to kick them for doing it, then changed his mind and said, "I'll give them one more chance, but if they burn another playground, I will set THEM on fire!" I did my motherly duty of discouraging him from setting someone on fire, but had to suppress my laughter in doing so. He also wanted to go door to door to find the people who did it. Later, I showed the boys pictures a friend had taken of the playground on fire. Tim briefly looked at them, then turned around and walked off saying, "What rude kids!"
