What Makes a Third Grader Start Fires?

One of my favorite kids of all time came up to me during lunch today and declared, "I think I've discovered how to start a fire with pretzels." And then she proceeded to demonstrate by furiously rubbing two pretzel rods together.

Unfortunately, she failed in her endeavor, but I respect the effort.

I've never been able to do that, even with sticks. On the face of it I'm really crap at living in the woods in Maine.

Just wait until that kid discovers magnesium in chemistry down the line.
