That time GCSibling "caused" a fire

RBN

One day N1 and I came home to discover there was a pretty serious fire in our apartment. Apparently N2 was cooking when GCSibling demanded N2's attention for something minor. N2 left the stove unattended and the kitchen caught fire. N2 blamed this on GCSibling's insistence for N2's attention at that time.

I remember being so relieved that for once it wasn't me, that even GCSibling could screw up. Whenever this incident was brought up, less so as the years went by but definitely several times the year it took place, N2 always blamed it on GCSibling.

Now that I'm an adult, I realize that it wasn't GCSibling's fault. GCSibling was 7. N2 was an adult. It was ridiculous for me to think it was GCSibling's fault.

Also, I realize I am sooooooo lucky that I wasn't at home or surely it would have been my fault.
