At the last multi-day power outage, the condominium tin-pot hall monitors known as the board sent out a notification that candles were not allowed because it was important to keep the kiddies safe. Of course, to use or not use candles should be the parents' decision, but how are kids supposed to figure out how to use fire safely if they don't have experience with it when they're young? Bozo the clown world.

The wording suggested that candles weren't even allowed in apartments with no kids. Screw that. I use candles.

I’d light the doormat on fire just for fun.

'Cause you and your kids are supposed to sit in the dark all evening?! Or are you required to spend every cent you have on batteries?
