My oldest made Napalm at home after me and his mom went to work one morning. He was 15.

I made him attend a haz-mat class that I was already scheduled for and told the instructor (a retired Tulsa fireman) the situation. He made sure the focus was stupid stuff and burns.

Sounds like the Napalm stuff was pretty cool though. I guess he was spraying it around and lighting stuff up.

I was one hell of a pyro when I was a kid
Boy's playing with fire is as old as...well...fire. Genuine pyromania though I was shocked to find out is in reality a sexual perversion. A "fetish" if you will, for fire. We studied it in a fire course in college. If they suspect a pyro might be responsible, then they roam the area looking for some nut spanking his monkey.

I've been lucky- we burned trash, and we had a fire a lot in a 55-gal drum- rocks for a campfire were in place in the yard of the little mini farm we grew up on. We had an old oven rack to cook on- had to be careful not to let your wiener fall through. One time we had trash burning in the barrel and me and my brother were taking plastic airplanes and sticking them on the side of the burning barrel- I remember getting the nose of one nice and soft and throwing it toward my brother and it stuck on his leg and burned the crap out of him. He had a scar the rest of his life. Boy Scout camps had fires going and one time at Red Rock Canyon, a cold front came in during the night and it was cold and blowing. We piled up tree limbs and had a big fire going in that wind. They would put you in jail for that today.

Dad could never figure out why his lighter fluid cans were always empty,,,
When confronted about it, I said that stuff evaporates really fast.

In actuality, I was "flame-throwing" plastic army men on the brick hearth.

Honestly, with all of the stupid stuff me and my friends did,,,
I don't understand how any of us survived our 50's childhoods.

One of our favorite things was to pour a cup of dishwashing liquid into a quart of gasoline,,,
Then we poured it into one of those tin-ceramic wash basins,,,
And lobbed firecrackers at it with slingshots.

Some of the fiery-balls were of Hollywood quality.

We had a burn barrel when I was in Jr High. Brother and I were burning trash in it one night. I was standing at the edge, looking down into the barrel when a ketchup bottle exploded, throwing hot ketchup onto my throat. I threw my head back and screamed, brother saw the ketchup on my throat, of course he thought it was blood! Scared the hell out of him. :)
