It's a good story. At least now we know how it happened. I remember we used to play with gasoline when I was a kid. I got burned one day and fortunately there was mud nearby and I just ran and slapped my arm in the mud. Instantly the flames were quenched but the pain took awhile to subside. I never said a word back at the house and no one told on me. Just some small blisters and a lesson learned. Fire burns. Gasoline burns more and stays on you.
The best thing to happen is this kid never had his face burned. That's extremely lucky.

I was wondering if that would be something that would need to happen. As he gets older, his scars would probably need to be cut to accommodate his growth, huh?
