The first funeral I ever went to was when I was about 5 years old and the dead man had been electrocuted while fixing his washing machine. Ever since then I've been terrified of losing a family member to electrocution. It's weird how the things you fear most when you're young stick with you.

WOW - thanks for the reminder. I know people don't take fire drills very seriously - especially adults! I remember being at my office and closing the door during a fire drill because I couldn't be bothered to interrupt my work. NEVER AGAIN! TUWABVBs last blog post..Don't Divorce My Parents

I have nightmares about this every time we do a fire drill/tornado drill/lockdown (for when the shooters comes to your school) drill at school. My students make fun of me for how seriously I take all the drills, but someday it might not be a drill and when that day comes, I'm going to remember this story!!

That is so scary! I'm glad everyone was okay...Wandered off to find running shoes? Didn't anyone ever tell him to leave everything in a fire, just get everyone out safely? 3carnationss last blog post..Blog Share

Good story. Why isn’t this non-anonymous share-worthy?

Fires scare me so much. My office building caught fire a few years ago, and I was just so silent the whole time, watching the flames get higher and higher. abbersnails last blog post..Blogshare post

My dad was a fireman so I grew up with the horror stories of what could happen in a fire. And since we lived in a small town, it often happened to people that we knew. It was scary, but I definitely grew up with an immense respect and appreciation for firemen and for fire safety. Giggle Pixies last blog post..It’s Getting Hot in Here!

It's wild how, when a kid disappears during something like this, you are at once infuriated, relieved, and usually flooded with love at the same time. Good post. Venoms last blog post..

We had a dryer fire once. Luckily it didn't spread. This kind of stuff scares the shit outta me. Sheris last blog post..Two Steps Forward and Two Steps Back
