A child's Christmas gift is part of what set his family's front yard on fire in McKinney. The boy's parents thought their son was going to use a magnifying glass for reading, but instead, he wanted to try and spark things on fire.
quote:
The 12-year-old said he was trying to use his magnifying glass to light newspaper on fire. When it actually happened, the newspaper fire spread to the grass, sending the front yard into flames and smoke within minutes.
“Cayden asked for a magnifying glass for Christmas,” his mother, Nissa-Lynn Parson, said in a video posted to Facebook. “We thought, ‘Oh, he wants to magnify something.’ No, he wanted to see if he can make fire with it, and they did."
quote:
"I just wanted to start a little fire," her son, Cayden, said.
"He came outside and he picked up the newspaper which had a little fire on it," Cayden said.
But it caught fire and Cayden's older brother, Ashton, didn't know what to do.
"The flame starts, so I picked up the newspaper and just kind of like throw it," Ashton said.
The fire spread.
"We ran inside and started screaming," Cayden said.

In 3rd grade me and some friends go busted trying to burn holes into leaves on the playground during recess. That was a long time ago so the teacher just told me to put the magnifying glass away.

Stomp out the fire you fat fricking idiot.

Magnifying glass in the sun is like a death ray.
Use only on concrete or dirt surfaces.

Unfortunately, I wanna do that sometimes, too. The fact that I know it wouldn’t be real stops me.
