Fire fire fire....

We had a FIRE in our centre today! (our closet dreams of the centre burning down and all of us having a month break from work!) It happened in the afternoon while the kids were having their favourtie afternoon tea of jelly and yogurt...the whistle was blown and we all thought that it was just a fire drill...no hurry we would just take our time to get the kids out of the room. But i smelt something funny so i thought that it might just be the real thing...so we hurried the kids out of the room, only to be met with the difficulty of dragging the kids from their jelly and out of the door!! Once outside...all the rooms managed to get the kids onto the pavement outside the centre and 3 fire engines came rushing to the rescue...here's what happened to Benji...
( I noticed that Benji was looking a bit wide-eyed and quiet, so i asked him...)
Me: Benji, what's wrong?
Benji: kept quiet and shook his head...
Me: Are you feeling scared?
Benji: Yes...
Me: (abit surprised cos i thought he loved fire engines and firemen!) Why are you afraid?
Benji: The noise too loud...
Me: Come here...you sit with me...
The vulnerabilities of being young and unworldly...it must be quite intimidating to be so young and having to deal with the world and its scariness!
We all survived the fire...it turned out to be a wire short circuit that led to a fire on top of the freezer in the kitchen...we are all fine. Darn! No month off! =)
