The Boy That Yelled FIRE

Ry's class at school is going through this phase where they all copy each other. One day they pretended to be holding guns...they would point at things and say "FIRE!!"

The joy of this game has stuck, but parents and teachers alike are not thrilled about it. So the new law of the land at school and at home is that the word "fire" is against the rules.

This rule, however, comes with a twist. What about a firetruck? How about a campfire? Those little rascals had a point. The newly revised rule is that you're not aloud to point at something and say "FIRE!"

Ry was playing with his trucks in the other room today. We heard him saying "FIRE [insert long pause here].........truck. FIRE..........truck."

I don't know whether to laugh or to cry. Stay tuned.
