Burning Toilet Paper Destroys House

Cheryl Crausewell of Dora, Alabama wasn't happy about the toilet paper in her magnolia tree. A prank she wasn't laughing about, she was intent on cleaning it up ASAP. Her solution for the hard-to-reach bits? Fire. Of course, it didn't turn out well. Burning toilet paper set her grass, then her house on fire. The house? "A total loss." Oh, and there's still toilet paper in her trees.

Possible Preaching Angle:

If we misjudge the severity of a situation, or respond to conflict with more force than we need to, the solution to a problem can be far, far worse than the problem itself. You may just see a whole life's work or relationship go up in flames. All for a little bit of "toilet paper."
