So, you know how you hear those awesome stories on the news about 4 and 5 year olds that save lives? There was one recently about a little 5 year old girl that saved her dad's life by calling 911 because her dad had a heart attack. She stayed calm and collected on the phone and answered all the dispatcher's questions until help arrived. There are even stories about dogs who can sense their diabetic owners' low blood sugar levels and save them from insulin shock. Crazy stuff! What about the little kid who saved everyone in the apartment complex by pulling the fire alarm? Well, I don't have a kid like that (at least, there hasn't been a need yet, fortunately). I have the kid who sets off the fire alarm, but not for the sake of saving lives.

Yesterday evening we were at the hospital visiting my sister and her new baby. Brice and the kids left before I did so I could hang out a little longer. A minute or two after they left, a nurse came through and said she needed to shut the door to Gina's room. Then it registered that there was an alarm going off. Toby wondered if maybe someone was trying to get into that wing of the hospital that wasn't supposed to come in. Then the intercom said, "Code red, Women's Center Lobby." And I said, "Uh oh, what did Ryker do?"

Well you see this:Whose idea was it to put this right next to the exit doors? Ryker and Raelin were too little to set off the automatic door sensors and when Ryker saw this red box there next to the door, he thought it was the door opener (like the handicapped buttons you push to get the doors to open automatically), so he pulled it! Gotta love life with little kids! :0)
