Nicolas quote: "I don't want to die alone and go up to heaven. I want to die with my whole family."

During bedtime, the kids played a role-playing game of fireman. They used jackets and caps and got up from bed 7 times and pretended to put out fires around the house. Both kids experienced the hardship of getting up, putting on the jackets and caps and rushing to the pretend-fires every time the pretend-fire alarm went off. At the post-play discussion on the lives of firemen, 7-year old Savion asked, "What will happen if the fireman doesn't get up when the alarm goes off?" I answered that the fireman will probably get FIRED and probably lose his job. I explained that it was part of their job to get up and do their duties no matter how tired they were. Most workers who don't do their jobs usually get fired. The kids acknowledged that indeed, firemen are heroes. And after a few more questions, 4-year old Nicolas then asked, "Why do they BURN the fireman when he doesn't get up?"
