That's a New One

OLIVE (Kindergartner):  Awwww, I wish I had a little sister.
MR. BOWERS:  Olive, be careful what you wish for...haven't you heard the expression, "The grass is always greener on the other side"?
OLIVE: No, the only expression I have ever heard is, "Hold on to your hat."
MR. BOWERS: ???

The Song of the Fire

(LOUD FIRE ALARM SOUND During Bilingual Kindergarten)

ISABELLA:  Ohhhh, I'm scared!
MR. BOWERS:  Don't worry, it isn't a real fire.
CAMILA:  Yes, it's only the song.
MR. BOWERS:  ...That's right...it's only the song of the fire!


Now, that's what I will always call fire alarms and fire truck sirens.  I guess now police cars also make the song of the criminal.
