Today, I came home to find my eight-year-old son had basically set fire to the kitchen, after trying to practice some kind of stupid shit he'd seen on TV called "fire bending." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my son watched some ridiculous Japanese cartoon about shokugeki cooking and is convinced he's the greatest cook ever by copying what happens in the show. He set fire to my frying pan, panicked, and dumped it in the ceramic sink, which cracked from the heat and flooded my kitchen. FML
Today, I had to take my son to the ER after he badly messed up trying to light his farts on fire. FML
Today, I watched on camera as my son tried to light a bonfire and set fire to my shed. Props to him, he ran to get my mini fire extinguisher from the car, but he pulled the pin then THREW THE EXTINGUISHER INTO THE FIRE. The dumb SOB thought mini extinguishers worked like grenades. FML
Today, my wife and I had a huge fight that ended with her taking my son and going to her mother's. What happened? I caught him playing with the knobs on the GAS STOVE for the third time and spanked him for it. He's been told not to play with those many times already, and I'm scared he's gonna start a fire. FML
Today, my son decided he wanted roasted marshmallows. It would've been fine, except he put the entire bag into the oven I had preheating for pizza and caught it on fire. FML
Today, when I got home, I learned that my five year-old had tried to burn the house down when my wife told him that he needed to stop watching TV. Now we need a counselor and it's going to cost thousands. FML
Today, my dad set my hair on fire while cooking. He then tried to convince me that it spontaneously combusted. FML
Today, my teenage daughter nearly burned down our house because she wanted to take "artsy" pictures with a lighter for Instagram. FML
Today, I made the mistake of taking apart and fixing a malfunctioning toaster in front of my five year-old. Two hours later, he tried to take apart a lamp that was plugged in. He shocked himself, broke the lamp, and set the carpet on fire. FML
Today, I found out my 10 year-old step-brother has an obsession with fire, after he burnt all the belongings in my room, including a £600 guitar. FML

It plays reruns but not they've made a sequel series called Legend of Korra, Korra being the next avatar in the cycle.

How dare you call fire beinding "stupid shit." Avatar is an amazing show! Your kid is stupid for thinking he could do that! >[

Although he was eight so... The real problem is... 1.) AVATAR IS NOT STUPID. and... 2.) You shouldn't leave a kid that young alone. In all technicality, it's against the law. Just saying.

1) Actually in some states it's not. 2) Nobody ever says he was alone. Ever heard of a dumb babysitter?

Make sure he knows you don't use actual fire it comes from your hands if you move them a certain way!

Who doesn't know what fire bending is?! I mean it's all over the place, especially with The Legend of Korra.

Yeah, because probably middle-aged parents with jobs are gonna be watching TV all day, much less something that looks like it's made for kids. WAIT UP! I know it's not just for kids, but a lot of people would just assume that at first glance and just flip the channel.

Yeah, but parents usually pay attention to what kids watch so it's not bad, inappropriate, or goes against their family values.

I actually know adults who watch Korra because it's actually a great show.

There's nothing stupid about fire bending. It's an art that can take years to master. YDI
