Surprise Fire Drill

Sometimes, when something surreal happens in my everyday life, I find myself saying "this is SO going in my blog!" Today, I had one of those experiences.

During our last class of the day (Kindergarten) we were surprised when the fire alarm went off.
No biggie, right? WRONG!

Imagine 4 classes of brand-spankin'-new-kinders who DON'T HAVE A CLUE why there are flashing lights and loud noises going off in the gym. Add to this fact that half of them DO NOT speak English -- then let the craziness ensue.

After a mad dash outdoors and several tired, crying and confused kindergartners have been evacuated into the back field of the school -- we wait. I am thinking this is a HORRIBLE time for a fire drill. But, it wasn't a fire drill. A smoke detector went off, so we wait for the fire department to give the all-clear. The all-clear didn't come for about 15 minutes, and not until after a thunderstorm began pouring down on all of us.

Lovely, no?
