FIRE CHIPS

Surprisingly enough, the title doesn't refer to actual fire that Tobin got into. Rather he was in one of his normal searches for something to snack on from the kitchen. He wound up finding some Spicy Doritos on the top of the refrigerator, stashed all the way at the back.

He got them down and brought them into the family room where the rest of us were. He showed me the flaming graphics on the bag and with a wide-eyed look of wonderment, told me, "Fire chips!"

He sat down with the bag in his lap and plucked the first one out. He took a small bite and thought about the sensation for a moment. Clearly he was feeling the heat - I guess the "fire chips" comment wasn't something he thought all the way through - and so he blew on the remaining bit of chip in his hand to cool it off before his next bite.
