Smarter By Myself

Okay, here goes, my very first blog story! I hope you enjoy it.

As you all may or may not know my son Derek loves fire! I on the other hand
am very afraid of it. Several years ago when Heather & Derek were little, my
parents were visiting us & Mom & I were cooking dinner in the kitchen. My
husband Jess and my Dad were in the living room watching TV, letting the
women-folk do the cookin'. Suddenly, for some unknown reason, the oven CAUGHT ON
FIRE!! My Mom & I looked at each other, never said a word...we just ran out of
the kitchen, through the living room where the guys were & out the front door!
Jess & Dad yelled after us, "What the hell are you doing?" And we just said,
"Oh, yeah, the stove's on fire." The kids were in their rooms, the guys were
in the living room but dammit, Mom & I were SAFE!!!

So there you go.
