A Child's Alarm

"My daughter is explaining to me what happened last week in her school when the siren was accidentally set off in our area. She was in school and the school properly (and quickly) treated it as real until proven otherwise. The children were whisked off to bomb shelters. But she and her two friends got separated from her class and so went to the wrong bomb shelter. Her teacher was afraid for her and the others; the others were crying and, if you believe my daughter's account, she was scared, but she didn't cry.

She just asked me where we would go if there was an attack here. I explained that we have two areas of the house that are protected - the bomb shelter, which is quite small; and another area."
