Tonight at dinner Steve smelled something burning. Our eyes turned to the stove, I frequently forget to turn off the burners. Nope, they were off. HMMM... maybe a bug landed on the lamp and was now frying. It wouldn't be the first time. After we ate Jake noticed it still smelled strong. The kids ran upstairs to watch a movie. "It really stinks up here" they yelled, only to be shortly followed by "FIRE!!!". Sure enough, one of the halogen lamps in the playroom had flames, yes, flames, coming from the top of it! I called to Steve who promptly removed the lamp to the backyard. With tongs he removed the burning pile from the top of the lamp...
This pile of black was once a sock. Whose sock you might ask? and how did it get there? Most likely Jake's as his socks are always strewn around the house. Disaster averted...
