Firemen

We live in an old house with hardwood floors that gets COLD. We have a space heater in the center of the house that is fun to try to keep the kids out of!! This morning I smelled something burning near the heater. I looked all around it before I finally realized there was a half-eaten granola bar IN the heater, causing the burning smell. I proceeded to call my kids in there and give them a huge lecture about putting things in the heater--the house could burn down, we could all die, it was a pretty gruesome lecture!! Cambree's eyes were SO wide as I told her, but Caedmon just looked at me calmly and said, "Mama, the fireman came to my school and he told me if there was a fire that I had to 'jump, rock, and roll'." :)
