we were sitting at the kitchen table at a friend's house one day and we began to smell smoke.we looked and looked and saw no fire when all of a sudden, I saw a spot on my friend's sweatshirt (which she was wearing) starting to smolder. She was sitting with her back to the window but the sun was coming in the window and there was something on the table which reflected the beams onto her shirt....and low and behold........there now was a hole in her shirt.
......who would'a thought !!!!!!
