The sound of the roaring, obnoxious alarm reached my ears quickly. They were high pitched; a dog would most likely become dead once they had heard the noise.
Worried, I raced into the house, Emma right behind me. Those were the fire alarms- I think.
For some odd reason, I raced to the kitchen first. That's when it hit me.
I forgot to finish making the bacon for the BLT Sandwiches for lunch today.
Racing over to the stove, I grabbed an oven mitten and a cup of water. I splashed the water out of the plastic cup. I kept doing that till the fire was out.
I picked up the bacon and the pan with my oven mittens.
"So... Uhm, how does pizza sound right now?" I asked, a sheepish smile etched upon my face.
"I'll get the phone." My fiancé sighed.
"We're home!" Came the shout of Caleb's voice.
"Uncle Caleb! Aunt Christina!" The kids shouted as they ran up to them.
"How was the trip?" Tobias asked that night at dinner.
We had some burgers, French Fries and chips for dinner. Nothing caught on fire this time...
"Oh, the Caribbean was amazing!" Said Christina.
I've seen pictures of the Caribbean, and I think that it's beautiful. I've never been though, but I really want to.
"Oh yeah, by the way," I began. "Tobias and I are getting married."
I had announced it as if it was the most casual thing in the world to say; it seemed to be perfectly normal to just announce it over dinner where there was a group eating carry-out food from Dominos.
"What?" Caleb said, weakly.
"We are getting married, Caleb." Tobias said.
"Uhm... Okay... Do you think that it's a bit to soon?"
"Caleb, you were alright with it when I asked you over the phone." Tobias said.
"Yeah, well I was, like, half drunk probably!" He said.
"Mom... What do we do when we are in a tornado?" Asked Dylan.
"Didn't you just discuss this a few weeks ago in school?" I asked him.
"No, he means what do we do when there's a real tornado?" Emma said, a wave of fright in her voice.
"Uh, why are you wondering that?" Asked Christina.
"Because aren't those the tornado sirens going off?" The twins said in perfect harmony.
"Yes, yes they are." Caleb said.
Well shit.
