Stop... Drop... THROW


The other night Mitch and I called it a night. Boys had been pottied, teeth brushed, lights out... As we lay there drifting off into dream land I had a very important thought run across my mind!
What if there was a fire in our house?!?! In the middle of the night and we'd have to escape out of the second floor.

I rolled over...

Me- Honey.... Mitch..... What are we going to do if we have a fire?? How would we get the boys out??
Mitch - we'd throw them out the window.
Me- NO!! It'd break their legs!! We should buy a fire ladder.
Mitch - were are we going to get one?
Me - my mom would know.
Mitch - honey we would break out the window and jump
Me - why break the window??!! We could just pop out the screen.
Mitch - we could throw our matress out on the ground
Me - there is NO way we'd squeeze our memory foam King matress out in the middle of the fire
Mitch - I suppose your right...
Me - maybe we could reach the top of the shed roof...
Mitch- is it under our window?
Me - no not really...
Mitch- we could just run downstairs really fast
Me - what if the fire is in the way??!

Mitch - we could make it...
Mitch - I guess we could buy a fire ladder. How would the boys get down it??

Me - we'd carry them! I'd take the wee one you get the fatty
Mitch - okay
We roll back over and say goodnight again.... My mind still thinking....
Me - babe! I figured it out!!
Mitch - oh?
Me- we could set them in our quilts and then lower them down.
Mitch - that would work.
Me - phew. Glad I know now. Good night.
Mitch - {laughs a little} good night love.
