fire drill

Dylan,

Ever since your recent fire drill at school you've been rather fixated on it, bringing it up again and again for about three weeks now. You tell us about the fire drill. You tell us we're going to have a fire drill at home, or that we already have. You say it was a "pretend" fire drill, and that in a real fire we need to get out onto the grass in a hurry. And that we're going to have a fire drill in Mexico when we're there on vacation.

You've also been pointing out the "smoke protectors" around the house, eventually learning to distinguish them from the heating vents.

You've told most every visitor to the house about your fire drill, and brought it up in almost every house we've visited. You even brought it up at your birthday party, which was outdoors.

You don't seem traumatized by it, but clearly impressed and even fascinated.
