Fire?!
This morning, B and I were scheduled to serve in childcare at church. I decided that since we were going to be helping with J’s class, that we might as well have C with us since he had already been to Sunday School and would just be in childcare in his classroom as well.
There were 6 helpers, including us, in J’s classroom. There were around 12 kids (2-3 years old, with the exception of C). Ratio was pretty good.
However, the ratio wasn’t good enough to prevent one of the little ones from standing on a table and pulling the fire alarm.
Guess what! It wasn’t either C or J that pulled the fire alarm. Surprise, Surprise!
This was a good teaching moment, after the church person came and turned off the alarm, to teach the children about fire alarms, real and false.
When the church man came to turn off the alarm, he was talking into his walkie talkie. I overheard part of the conversation. He gave the room number where the alarm was activated and said, “two words - 2 year olds.”
