I opened the door to find flames shooting up the cabinetry. I called up the stairs to my mother "MOM!" "What?" "FIRE!!!" "Where?" she replied, ever so calmly. "IN THE KITCHEN, COME NOW!" She strolled downstairs a few minutes later, tossed some baking soda on it, and never even seemed bothered. So being calm in the face of a fire like the toaster seems completely natural to me.<BR/><BR/>Just another take, anyway. (Ask Ellie, I'm pretty much like that myself now, calm under pressure)Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04826309601023733396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135188917425528500.post-37490123154945268352008-07-09T01:35:00.000-04:002008-07-09T01:35:00.000-04:00Ellie, I think Melissa is right you need a 12 step...Ellie, <BR/>I think Melissa is right you need a 12 step program you were just too calm when you were on the phone with me and the Toaster was on FIRE!!! but I did get a few laughs. <BR/>KimKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11487691259496846451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3135188917425528500.post-21454827312722346422008-07-08T20:45:00.000-04:002008-07-08T20:45:00.000-04:00Ok, Ellie?

If it even occurs to you to take a picture for your blog before putting out the fire, then I submit that you are in need of a 12 step program.<BR/><BR/>I'm just sayin'...:)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14599462281364463565noreply@blogger.com
