On a lighter weather note...

I had to be up early for work and my wife worked overnight last night, so my 3-year-old stayed with my parents. Apparently, when the storm sirens went off due to the tornado warning, they sought shelter in my mother's closet. When I picked her up today, the following was the conversation we had:

Me: "Did you sleep ok last night."

Her: "Yeah. Except for when we had to go to the closet."

Me: "Why did you have to go to the closet?"

Her: "We had to go to the closet so we didn't get hit by a potato."

You gotta love kids!

My brother called them tormatos when he was little. Who knew vegetables were so dangerous?

AHHH the innocence of it all:)

It stinks that when they grow up they have to learn what the world is really like.

Bless you and yours KB4

Priceless. Thanks for sharing.

I know, right? My luck, the next storm system will come though and I'll be knocked unconscious by a flying eggplant...

No kidding Sgt. Joe. When my wife was pregnant, I told her I kinda felt guilty for the world I was bringing a child into. This ain't the same world I was brought into. But then again, I was brought into a world that wasn't the same as my father's.

Interior rooms without an outside wall or windows are best. Our safe room is the laundry room, handy because it has water and a drain, though I can't picture my wife sitting on the laundry tub.

Yeah, I know, boy scout.

Tormatoes -- snerk!!

Yeah. My little house (built in the early 50's) was NOT made for potato attacks. We pretty much have to use the hallway unless we stand straight up in the only closet with a little space. Something about standing straight up that doesn't sit well with me. I really need to look into an underground shelter.
