Clara and the Firetruck

Well, this post is dedicated to George. After he told me he was disappointed in not seeing me post about this, I figured I better do it, even if it is not funny to me yet. Hopefully one day it will be.

We had a nephew get baptized last weekend so we were all at the church for that. We were all standing in the hall chatting as we were preparing to leave. All of a sudden the fire alarm is going. Jeff looks at me and says, "That was Clara". I looked over at Clara, who was no more than 4 feet away from me, and sure enough, she was standing under the pulled fire alarm. She was hysterical, or maybe that was me. I was told I could do nothing to stop the fire department from coming, so I let it happen. Thank goodness the baptism was over. Jenn took Clara outside for me because I was not impressed and I was really embarrassed that my child would do such a thing.

I must say it took a while before the fire department showed up, it was a good thing that there really wasn't a fire because I can't imagine how much it could have spread in that time.

Anyways, I guess when they got there Jeff told them it was pulled by a kid. They had to go inside and check, and while they were inside all the kids were getting their picture taken in front of the firetruck. I had Jenn take a picture of Clara, although I was not sure I wanted to remember this experience.
I found out the other day that Anthony, the nephew who was baptized, was thrilled and had his picture taken in front of the fire truck. I am happy to say that at least my child made his day more memorable.

So here it is, the picture that proves that my child is in fact, not perfect.
