Yesterday my neighbor told me about how on Wednesday, her 9 year old son's friend decided to take the sheets-tied-together method of exiting the house from the 2nd story window over the concrete patio. He denied it, but thankfully nothing awful happened. Fire Safety month tends to do that to people, I guess. It reminded me of a situation 2 years ago...
We had checked a book out from the library about Fire Safety, called "Stop, Drop, and Roll." The kids loved to read it together, so one morning when I was in the bathroom and heard them chanting that phrase, I didn't think much of it. But seconds later, when the house was filled with smoke, I extinguished the small fire on the kitchen table and it was time for questioning. Seems that my little pyros decided to take the candle burning down from up high and ignite some paper with the flame, to see how good their fire safety response would be. Matthew was 18 months at the time and they ran away into the corners, leaving their younger brother with the fire. No lasting damage, but I was pretty mad.
They were definitely P for Punished. So we are a little extra cautious during Fire Safety Month.

That's funny on how creative your girls got. Abby is just telling me she learned how to call 911. I'm hoping she never does so from our phone to test it out.
Punished starts with P which rhymes with T which stands for Trouble. And Trouble starts with T which rhymes with P and that stands for Pool. So you've got Trouble, Trouble, Trouble, right here in River City.
