Ironic Fire Safety

Late one afternoon my children gather around the TV for Arthur on PBS. The topic on the show for discussion during the intermission between segments is Fire Safety. Kids gather around real firemen and ask questions and give answers.

Q - "What if your door is closed and you feel from the inside that it is hot?"

A – "Don’t open it! Go out a window if you can; shout for help!"

A little girl asks the fireman, "What if there's a fire at the fire station?"

My own daughter answers – "You call it irony."
