With the California fires all over the news, fire has been on many people's minds. Yesterday, Jared came home from school, and along with an 8 year-old neighbor told their own fire story.
Liberty Elementary had a fire drill yesterday. The problem is, the teachers didn't know it was a drill and neither did the students. So, when the alarm went off, for a few moments the kids were scared senseless. Their little minds were trying to figure out what was happening. Quickly, the teachers got everyone organized and followed the fire drill procedure.
Well, this morning, as Jared was getting ready for school, Wendy noticed his backpack was tearing at some of the seams. So, she asked Jared, "Do you want me to get you that Broncos backpack we saw when we bought Dad's hat?" He answered, "Yeah, and yesterday when my school was on fire I was thinking, 'Oh no! Now I am going to have to get a new backpack."
The funny thing is, I remember fire drills as a kid and thinking, "I have to remember to grab my backpack."

That's so funny... it would have been so funny to be in Jared's mind at the time. I remember the same thing in SC when we'd be crouched under our desks for a tornado drill.
