Mom: So I discovered what that smell was. It was a plug melting.
Me: Oh really? Where?
Mom: On the christmas tree.
Me: ....what??!?
Mom: Yeah, one of the plugs on the lights was melting. It could have started a fire!
Me: And you left it on all last night? With me alone in the house!?
Mom: Yeah, we didn't think it was a problem.
Me: Um... I think it's a problem!
Mom: You're being over-dramatic.
Me: Sorry my fear of death is considered dramatic.
Mom: Hey, the house is still standing, right?
Me: Yeah, but what would I have done? We don't have any fire extinguishers in the house!
Mom: Garden hose of course.
Me: Mom, I'd have to practically jump through the burning tree to get to it!
Mom: Oh it would have been fine. You're tough.
Me: Yeah, but i'm not fireproof!
Mom: On second thought, it wouldn't have worked. Our hose doesn't work well in the winter.
Me: Good to know. I think we should get extinguishers in the house.
Mom: There's an idea. Oooh! That would make a GREAT Father's Day gift!
Me: But that's like, 6 months away!
Mom: So? You have an early start now!
Me: I don't know about you, but I'd rather not be sleeping in a fire trap for 6 months.
Mom: Good point.
I love my mom. : )
And my dad's birthday is January 9th. Guess what he's getting from all his kids.
