I woke up the other night wondering what we would do if there was a fire. It’s been years and a different house since I’ve thought about something like this. The very first time I told my son when he was 5 what to do in a fire, he started to lose interest, I said, “Quick, there’s a fire, what do you do?”
“Hide under the bed, MOM!” And he started to crawl under the bed. UM, I didn’t say anything about the bed. Later I found out that kids will hide under the bed when scared.
How would we tell Gpa go out the window if there is smoke? And I don’t think a fire drill will be a good idea. I don’t want him trying to crawl out the window unless absolutely necessary.
I do think a sticker for the fire department letting them know who’s in the house is a good idea.
I’m going to look for other ideas to help with this.
I’m also going to be careful that we don’t have a fire.
