A learning experience

This will be a quick post.  My oven caught on fire!!  For the last 4 or 5 months Brian has been really curious and opening the oven door.  We've been using the oven lock but he can easily slide it over to unlock it.  I finally bought a clasp from Toys R Us but have yet to install it.  The other week I noticed he was putting things in the oven but when I checked I didn't see anything so I figured he had already taken it back out.  Well today I thought I would bake something.  While it was preheating I thought I smelled something funny.  When I opened the door flames were shooting out!  I was in shock!  haha and then I took a moment to consider whether or not I wanted to use our fire extinguisher.  It seemed like it would make a bigger mess than the actual fire.  There were flames but it was pretty much contained within the oven and I figured thats what ovens are for, right?  High heat!  So I just filled up a cup of water and threw it in there and called it good.  Now the kitchen smells a little funny.  Oh well...now the little latch is installed and i've purchased an oven cleaner to clean the oven.  So far this week is not making it on the top ten of the year.
