I played with fire. I burned my Barbie dolls feet on the light bulbs and turned out fine. Kids go through phases but this phase needs to be watched closely.

Yeah. My brother was like that. Had this strange fascination for not only fire but wanting to know how things work. Kept tinkering with things. You know, breaking things apart only to put them back together again. Running these strange experiments around the house. And starting fires. He set our couch on fire. (I have to give him credit that he at least had the presence of mind to know how to put it out himself so our house didn't burn down but that was the last straw for my parents).
Somehow they managed to channel him the right way. He got into Stuyvesant where chemistry class was where he went all out and was rewarded for his curiosity. He now is a physician, has a wife and two kids, & makes about 350-400K a year. I guess he turned out ok but my parents did have to step in because setting the living room couch on fire. No, no, no.
