The Burning Bush

Uncle Christian got a new toy a while ago.  Unfortunately he found out the hard way that it's not a toy.  It was originally purchased so that he could burn the weeds out of the rocks in their yard.  This weekend things got a little out of control.  Acccording to my inside source she was inside when she heard him yell for help.  She yelled for Jane to bring her phone and come outside with her so she could call 911.  When she rushed outside she was happy to see that he wasn't on fire but that the neighbors bush was.  They grabbed a hose and started pouring water on it and a neighbor also rushed over with a fire extinquisher and joined the effort.  I suspect that for Father's Day Uncle Christian will be getting a hoe and the toy (not a toy) will probably disappear from the garage!  So unlike Moses, Christian didn't have a spiritual awakening--just a fun (because it didn't end in tragedy) embarassing moment that I don't plan to let him live down for some time!

Oh by the way, my source said that when she came out of her house the next day there was a FOR SALE sign in neighbor's yard!  I guess if you aren't a fan of your neighbor you could burn their bush to encourage them to move on!
