"Someone fired the park."

From the time Lydia was little she has referred to burning something as "firing it". We have tried to tell the correct way of saying it but she always resorts back to her way of saying it. Well, last week someone set one of our local parks on fire and it burnt. The park has always been one of her favorite places. She referred to this park as 'Nanny's park' or 'Daddy's park'. I told her about it the next morning. She asked several questions, to which I did not have answers for. When we walked into Miss Darlene's that morning Lydia said' "Someone fired Nanny's and daddy's park"! It sounded so strange Miss Darlene had to ask what she was talking about. Friday on the way to her ballgame we rode through the park. It was very sad to see the devastation. And in Lydia fashion she pointed out that the tire swing was still hanging. She is such an optimistic person, I think she gets that from her daddy.
