"...agree that my stupidity abounds!"
Not stupid. These things happen with kids, which is why they're built tough, just like Volvos. Nothing happened, nobody hurt, lesson well learned for a very cheap price -- and usually a good education costs a lot more.
Alexander Flemming (1881-1955, Nobel in '45) once left a series of Petri dishes on his windowsill to cool after an experiment. Unfortunately, the experiment was a completele failure. Rather than worry about his stupidity abounding, he asked what caused this failure. He discovered a mold called penicillium, and the rest is history.
What positive, creative learnings are here for you? And I really mean the positive learnings, not the negative ("Don't do that!") learnings.
