And the Award of Parent of the Year Goes to......

Someone other than my mom and step dad. Parents should warn you about dangerous things right. I mean they teach you not to play with the matches or lighters they leave barely out of reach, so close that you can get them with the stool from the bathroom you use to wash your hands. Okay, maybe they aren't that bad, but still. So I go outside to write some music less lyrics (when I learn a bit more piano, they might actually have simple notes added on, but teaching yourself from a book, isn't the easiest thing in the world). There are plenty bugs (aka mosquitoes) in Canada, so I turn on this annoying thing that is suppose to keep them away, but why write with a flash light when there are candles right in front of you. These aren't your average citronella candles, think gas lamps, but frilled with citronella oil. Me being me, I managed to scare a skunk when I first went out, and you can only handle the smell for so long
(although from the smell of the neighbourhood, I think someone scares the stupid thing every night/morning), and so after 20 or so minutes I decide to come in. The only thing I have to do is put out the citronella things. Not hard, they come with little snuffers attached to them. I place the first one on, no problems, the second try, it did not, go out. No matter how many times I tried. The flames were quite high and I wasn't about to pull the snuffer of with my hands, it's metal, it was just over fire, I am no idiot (*looks at last post* most the time). I keep trying with the same one, because I am stubborn. Then I start to get mad, it might be nice to get some warning when I ask if the lighter for the candles is on the table. No warning and after sticking a lighter and a pencil into the flames quite a few times I decide to try with the other snuffer, I dropped it on and it didn't go out immediately the way it is suppose to, but it did eventually go out.

Trust me, people would like a little warning that not only is the snuffer not working properly, but it will stay of fire for a short period of time after you take it away from the flame.
