What do a pair of six-year-old twins do in New England when it's 12°F outside, and there's no snow on the ground, and they're cooped up in the house with their boring old moms while their little brothers are napping?
Why they start playing with fire, of course.
This game is officially called the "burn your butt" game. Invented by my very own pair of six-year-old twins (though I'm guessing they weren't the first to think it up).
How to play:
1. Put gel in your hair. Lots of it. You will look cooler with gel in your hair. Way cooler.
2. Stand in front of the hot wood stove, and bend your knees. Don't let your tush actually touch the wood stove, but let it get as close as you possibly can.
3. When you start to feel a little bit hot, run to the couch and sit down. Your hot pants will burn your butt.
4. Scream. Laugh. Repeat.
5. Dream of warmer and/or snowier days. (You know I am).

pretty dang cute! not the worst way to spend a day trapped inside! (provided they're not actually burning said buns!)
in the days of saggy jeans, this could be done similarly by straddling a campfire and then yanking those pants up high. NOT RECOMMENDED.
