Christmas went up in flames for a family in Texas, after a 12-year-old boy decided to use a magnifying glass for something other than reading. Nissa-Lynn Parson shared on Facebook how her family’s Christmas Day was “memorable to say the least” after her 12-year-old son used the magnifying glass he received as a present to try to light things on fire.
On Christmas day the 12-year-old and his two brothers went out to the driveway and burned a couple of holes in some newspaper. But after one of them dropped the burning paper, the blaze ended up spreading to the front yard of their home in the Dallas suburb.
