The Joys of Kindergarten

Setting: We were practicing what to do during a fire drill because we were told we were having one the next day. We explain how it's just a test and it's nothing to get upset about. We lined the kids up, walked outside, and turned to face the building.A woman walks out.....

Bobby: Be careful! There might be a fire in there tomorrow!

Then the following day... Bobby runs full speed outside as soon as the bell rings. We finally catch him and line everyone up. We are told we can go back inside when Bobby bursts into tears in line. I tried to calm him down and figure out what in the world could be wrong with him. I finally got him to talk, and in between his tears, this is what he said:

"WE ARE GOING INTO THE FIRE!!!!"

My roommates have come to expect a "Bobby" story everyday when I come home.
