KIDS Do NOT hear smoke alarms

My friend Charm sent me this CRAZY EYE OPENING Email about how children (the study was ages 3-12) do NOT hear smoke alarms. They were told all about fire safety and told there would be a "test drill" to come. A week later they set off alarms and the kids did not wake up, even after 2 minutes. Some companies are working on alarms that have a voice linked to the alarm, like mom or dads voice saying "GET UP, It's a fire" They should be on the market in the months to come. If you wanna see the news video, leave a comment and I will forward the email to you. Just leave me your email. Thanks for sharing Charm.

No prob! I'm glad it affected you the way it did me! As soon as those come out on the market, I'm gettin' 'em!! (If you see 'em out there before me, will you let me know... I'll do the same for you! -K-) :)

That is so crazy about the smoke alarms. I will have to remember that when Paisley get's older. I have been wondering how that google thing works that tells you when people update their blogs. How do you do that? Your little boy is so darn cute. He looks like so much fun!
