So Glad His Priorities Are Straight

Number One has been having fire safety week at school. For homework, he had to make an emergency escape plan. We live in a one-story with LOTS of windows, so it was an easy thing to do. This is conversation we had:
Me: Number One, when you're escaping in a fire, can you think of anything in your room you should take with you?
Him: My cleats?
Me: No! Think again.
Him: My football cup? (referring to his favorite athletic supporter)
Me: No, something that can't be replaced with money. Think about it.
Him: (after thinking so hard you could see smoke coming out his ears) Should I go out and get the dogs?
Me: NO! Seriously, Number One, you can't think of ONE thing in your room that really should go with you???
Him: What??
Me: SNORT!!! If you have to escape in a fire, you take him with you if you can!!!
Him: (Sighs in frustration) He's really heavy, Mom!

*Sigh* I'm so glad he's got his priorities straight.
