One of my 5 year olds asked, "Mommy, why do you cover your head in a fire drill?" And I said "What the f##%? Not really, but you know. So then I said it sounds like you had an earthquake drill. "What's an earthquake?" And so it goes... <br /><br />Oh, and Ashley - after my kids say The Wizard of Oz, every breeze and cloud meant, "is it a tornado?"Verityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00453479959344145939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3137584603391887934.post-87715592691656698412011-01-09T10:00:54.462-08:002011-01-09T10:00:54.462-08:00Oh.

In Missouri, earthquakes aren't all that common so of course as soon as it shook me awake I freaked out big time because that is a bit of a phobia for me. I opened the kids doors, put on my shoes and socks and a coat and grabbed the diaper bag and stocked it full of crackers and bottles of water. I just sat there in the dark waiting for the shaking to return because I heard the aftershocks were more severe than the first one....which it wasn't all that bad and people in California would call me a total wimp.Rebeccahttp://landlock-mo.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3137584603391887934.post-38916715893179669382011-01-08T16:02:33.042-08:002011-01-08T16:02:33.042-08:00I'm with Big Daddy and the hurricanes, so I ha...I'm with Big Daddy and the hurricanes, so I have no earthquake experience. I can tell you that when 'Bot was in first grade, and they learned about fire safety, he didn't sleep for about six months. He wanted to stay awake so he could warn us if there was a fire at night. He drove my husband nuts about batteries in the smoke detector, and he practiced our fire escape plan (which we made at his insistence) over and over and over and over and ov....you get it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08563221196810868202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3137584603391887934.post-84785300311297143642011-01-08T15:01:15.919-08:002011-01-08T15:01:15.919-08:00My daughter has conflicted feelings about earthqua...My daughter has conflicted feelings about earthquakes! One the one hand, she's bummed that she hasn't felt a single quake yet. For some weird reason, she either has slept through them (like the 4.8 one that was epicentered 5 miles away. Actually, I slept through that one too while hubby was freaking out) or was outside playing at preschool (like the 5.4 one that freaked me out while I was at home). At the same time, she's scared about "The Big One" and won't even read her Magic Treehouse book about earthquakes because she's too scared to.
