guest post : from grandpa (pawbaw)

Last night Desley and I were babysitting H when a near disaster happened.

Des was cooking and inadvertently let some oil get too hot in a pan and added water. A flame-up resulted and lasted until Des could turn the gas burner off. Harrison and I were at the other end of the kitchen. After the flame was downed, he searched my face at length to get my reaction. I remained calm and reassured him all was OK. I went over to the stove to do what I could, when I noticed that H had come over to Desley also.

When I looked down at him I realized that he had come to help as well: he had brought with him his little fire truck. I still wonder, I still wonder.

From Aimee: I don’t wonder anything – I believe that the kid knew exactly what he was doing. I mean look at this:

clearly the face of a fire-extinguishing-hero-genius.
