Sorry, he probably got the idea from MY kids. "Live as a warning to others" - family motto.

Um yeah. My son and the neighbor boy did this with a windex bottle and a birthday candle...sooo not pretty.

I'm so glad to hear that our "inventive" son isn't the only one. Thank goodness for alcoholic drinks!! Otherwise my nerves would be permanently frayed!

You're raising him right - at least he asked first!

Oooooooooooooh, boys are fun!

Now I'm worried!

No I don't wish I lived there. I want to live someplace where making flame throwers is a perfectly acceptable hobby.

What? He gave in so easily? Over here there is never an "OK" without "Why?" "Why can't I?" first.

ROFL! Oh my. SO very glad my one and only is grown and out of the house. Not that it makes life that much easier, but still. These sorts of questions don't happen much anymore. Just sayin...

Well, it never hurts to ask.

Me- Dad, isn't there a safer way to tear down the old boat house?
**As he is lighting his flame thrower**
Dad- Sure, but it won't be as much fun.

He burned it to the ground...well water. Boats came from all over the lake to watch the blaze.

He has also used it to burn of reeds and an number of other "controlled" burns...

Sometimes, you really have to wonder what they THINK the answer is going to be.

At least your answer was no! lol

It's almost as bad as my girls wanting to make a potato cannon! LOL!

This is the time when cracking open a beer comes in handy. ;) (or a bottle of wine)

Hahahahaha!

Good Call!..lol

hahahahaha I read the post and then the title. LMAO.

Yes, some days I do wish I lived there. :)

Flame thrower's sound VERY exciting!! Much more exciting than our mac-n-cheese dinner with a dinosaur matching game tonight :)

Ha! That's too funny! Kids just kill me sometimes!

Are your fire extinguishers up to code?

At least he asked first!

OMG, it is so wrong to find that SO funny!?

I have a feeling my son will be asking the same thing in a few...weeks.

Sounds like my husband--except he never would ask his mother, he just did it and she never found out.

It makes me very afraid considering my youngest is JUST. LIKE. HIM.

I remember the first time my mum sid no to me doing that too... I learned from it though that I just need to be sneaky about it :)

It's like that line from "Toy Story"-
"Mom, where are the matches?"
"Why?"
"Never mind"

At least he asked first!

Oh my!! I just entered the world of boys and Im a little worried aobut what is to come! This is a bit funny as it was not my child asking!

Well, at least you have good boundaries.

Hope he listened and didn't make it anyways!
