BY ALLYSON BIRD NORTH MYRTLE BEACH — A young mother wearing yellow rubber gloves sobbed as she climbed up onto the charred pile that had been her family's home.
The perfectly intact toy dump truck amazed Melissa Mattson almost as much as her Barefoot Resort neighborhood at large — how a fire could be so discriminating, picking her home over her neighbor's, her kitchen over a child's toy.
I give kudos to Allyson for trying to make this an Extreme Makeover: Home Edition sob story. In the second paragraph, Ty Pennington comes in, hugs the mom and sends her to lovely Myrtle Beach for the week while they build her a new home.
Also, according to Allyson, fire is discriminating and rather bigoted. Nature is such a bitch.
