SOL #1

     
     BEEP, BEEP, BEEP! BEEP, BEEP, BEEP! 

      We all jump. "That was us! That was totally us!" someone yells across the Kids Kitchen.  I leave my potato-egg mush (it would've been latkes, if the fire alarm hadn't stopped me) alone as everyone files out the door.
     As soon as I step outside I can see excitement and some fear on the little kids' faces. No one knew there would be a drill today. But it wasn't a drill. It was burning food.
     When the fire department leaves after giving us the all-clear, we go back to the Kitchen. Everyone looks kind of ashamed of themselves. We tried hard not to smoke up the room; opening doors, turning on fans. David tells us that it wasn't the smoke alarm in our room but the one in the next room over. We only have about five more minutes to clean up.
   
     No latkes for me.

    "We all jump." Perfect since that is what happens at every fire alarm. Kids shouting "That was us!" is also perfect. Nice slice and keep the smoke outta the kitchen :)
