Friday Night Fire!

Friday night we decided to go out for pizza. The actual sit down kind that no one does anymore. The pizza was great but the whole experience nearly sent me to an early grave.
It was one of those places that has the red dimply glass candles lit on the tables, along with the very classy paper napkin dispenser. Can you see were this is going?
We sat down and Mason immediately said,"Happy Birtday Mama!" It is some correlation he has with candles and birthdays. Then he started trying to blow out the candle. We talked about just blowing it out but we never did, we just moved it away.
The next item to play with was the paper napkin dispenser. He started pulling out the napkins and all was fine until he started reaching across the table trying to put them into the candle. The first one, success! Up in flames it went! I quickly reached into the candle, pulled out the ball of fire and began blowing. IT acted like those trick birthday candles, it would go out for a second then re-ignite itself. Meanwhile Mason is yelling, "Yay, Hotdogs!!"
I finally got the flame put out and began laughing hysterically. I am not sure if it was sheer embarrassment or the fact that my son has another correlation between campfires and hotdogs, but I laughed so hard I had tears steaming down my face.
We blew out the candle after that.

And this is why people don't go out for pizza anymore...

(I can't wait until my own kid is doing crazy stuff like this. I love it!)

Mason won't even eat hotdogs just so you all know, but if we have a fire at my parents cottage or house, someone always is grilling a hotdog. I guess that is how he puts the two together. I try not to be crazy about some unhealthy food, but I draw the line at hotdogs. You'll never find them in my house, I swear! Brats, a whole different ball game, mmmmmmmm.

I don't know what was funnier, Mason yelling HOT DOGS! Or Annie frantically trying to extinguish the fireball in her hand as discreetly as possible! I could have helped, but I just wanted to watch this whole scene play out.

That is totally hillarious. I am laughing out loud as I am reading it. I know it was a dangerous thing to do, but it is funny.
