I was 10 and home sick from school. ....
I put the toaster down with the frozen french toast slabs and went to the living room to become hypnotized by the dazzling cartoons to await the pop and ding of finished French Toast....yum.
Time past by... there was no pop and ding... .....
Panic set in, i had sat through the classes on what to do in a fire and the information came to me haphazardly and confusedly cause of my panic.
Wait! toasters are electrical.. .... need to smother it.. ill use the big black trash bags my mom told me to avoid cause they would smother me!
that didnt work...the bag just melted... ok.. use blanket.. FWAP... FWAP... FWAP! well.. the toaster is out! but the blanket is on fire, as is the curtains, my dads chair, and .. the floor.
So then I call the fire department.. good lil 10 year old staying calm.. ....
Zomg, this is why kids today arent allowed to stay home alone anymore. bwhahaha. so called latch key kids in 70-80s. Nowadays the parents would be jailed for lettin kid stay home alone.
ah yes the hypnotizing and dazzling cartoons. we need a smiley with swirly eyes. this will have to do.
no pop and ding, prob. plenty of snap, crackle and pop though in form of commericals on tv durin the cartoon fest. heheh
Ah the classes on what to do in a fire were prob old b & w movies on 'how to be swell: the fire survival series.' I think I saw that one along with duck and cover.
Nothing says smother like plastic bags, unless you smothering a fire. blanket seemed like good choice cept it's flammable. that part in classroom film where it said to smother with wet blanket must have broke and be taped back together after that little instruction. lol
you prob had to call fire dept on old rotary phone. prob took forever! hah I know I had one of them too. and not just 911 either but some long arse number... 1... (chu, chu chu ---that my sound for rotary phone).
Rizzo I surprised at you! I expected this from Zayn maybe, but not you.
good thing you not hurt, ditto the kitties.
