Playing With Fire

This post is alternately titled: "I'm So Hot"

Josh, in an attempt to make magic that I don't ruin, decided to bring fire into the mix. He bought this paper that's apparently really expensive and when you light it on fire, it basically explodes in your face. Or just burns extra quickly, depending on how close you are to the fire.

This is how this trick is supposed to look. Josh has wrapped a dollar bill in the paper and will light it on fire, hoping that the dollar bill will come out clean and not end up burned.

I was afraid to try the trick because I have (as Josh and Matt say) "crack fingernails", meaning they are naturally long and gorgeous. And I was afraid that if I held the paper with my nails being so long, that they would burn. Burnt nails is like the worst smell ever. Girls know this stuff.

Note: Josh decided that dropping an F bomb was helpful. I'm posting it in hopes of getting him in trouble with . . . anyone.




Then I totally got the trick to work . . . before the dollar bill at least.




I was then allotted a quarter to attempt it again.




So what did I learn from this experience? That I scream when I see fire, but to be fair, I've been watching marathons of Rescue Me a lot lately. Also, Pugs think that flammable quarters are edible.
