Hot Lips

This afternoon, I was stoking the fire in the stove, when Anna came up behind me.

"Whoa," she said. "That's a big one!"

"Yeah," I said. "It's pretty."

"Yeah. But I think it will burn my lips off."

It's quite important to be specific about what a fire will burn off!

I grew up in a house with no central heat or air. . .and even though it's the south, it can get really cold in northern Louisiana in the winter. We had gas space heaters that were in the wall. . .and I cannot even tell you the number of night gowns I burned the back of by standing too close for too long to warm up.

You've got a smart girl.
