Wild Fires

Much of Southern California was under siege by smoke, soot and ash compliments of the Tea and Montecito Fires.

It was ominous seeing the darkened skies-- although the pink sun was sort of cool. My 3 year old had many questions about the fires. Besides the usual what's a flame, why is it burning? There were tougher questions like what started it? Did a person start it? Why would someone do that?

So what do you tell a kid about arson and an arsonist's motivations?
