Gram,
You made me laugh when you talked about cooking your pigs. I hope your day has been a good day for you. I re-read the post of your 3 year old picking up on bits and pieces what she overheard of her bro and sis. Kids are smarter than we tend to give them credit for.
My 3 year old grandson was taught when there is a fire or smell smoke to run out of the house. Last night he did as was told. My daughters house caught fire. It wasn't a bad fire due to the quick reaction of my son-in-law and the 3 year old yelling for daddy to get out of the house. Being a gas dryer the house could have blown up. Lint caught behind the trap. Taught me a lesson to vacuum out once in awhile. I am very tired as I didn't much sleep last night and mentally drained but grateful it could have been much worse.
Take care,
