This morning, my youngest son reported hearing sirens.<\/p>\n
“I think someone’s house is being broken into,” he said. “Or maybe their car.”<\/p>\n
I was cooking eggs, and still a bit bleary-eyed.<\/p>\n
“Stick your head out the front door,” I answered. “See if you can figure out what direction it’s coming from.”<\/p>\n
“Okay!”<\/p>\n
A few minutes later, he was back inside. “I’m going around the fence to the houses behind us,” he said.<\/p>\n
“Why?” his mom asked, coming out of the bedroom.<\/p>\n
“Because that’s where the alarm is coming from. I’m pretty sure it’s the house just behind us and to the left.”<\/p>\n
“Or we could call the police,” his mom said, glaring (for no reason at all) at me.<\/p>\n
“You mean we’re not sending our youngest son to stop the burglars?” I asked in my most innocent of voices.<\/p>\n
“Yeah,” my son said with a nervous laugh. “I think the police would be good.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
