In reality, many kids do. Maybe you are one of them. The problem is many aren't given that opportunity because the fire they set took their life. Some have survived but have to live the rest of their lives knowing a brother or sister did not.

Because many of us survived and "grew out of" curiosity about fire, we sometimes are more inclined to let our children do the same. Some parents accept experimentation with fire as a "normal part of growing up," and although they scold their children, they make no effort to limit access to fire tools. This is interesting since most parents would not give a child access to a gun and let them experiment with it until they learned how to properly use it or their curiosity was satisfied. While they are concerned about giving a child access to a gun, they don't think twice about leaving lighters and matches in plain sight. Lighters and matches kill too!
