He Said I Couldn't Do It

 My husband laughed when he saw me trying to start a fire.  Scott, you see, is an Eagle Scout.  He is very knowledgeable about starting fires and the like.  I thought that instead of laughing he should just get out there and start it for me, but instead he told me that I was doing it all wrong.  Contrary to my usual behavior, I admitted that I didn't know how to do it and took his advice.  I told the boys to gather twigs, and I used notebook pages that were written on both sides.  His advice worked instantly, and we got to enjoy hot dogs cooked over the fire!

I did it!
