Don't panic! It was my kid!

Getting 6 people anywhere on time and ready is always a chore. Our plan for Easter service at church was to be there about 20-30 minutes early. We figured it was a "hot" church day and we wanted to make sure we had time to get everyone settled. We started extra early but somehow managed to be racing out the door 10 minutes before it was to begin. I really have no concept of time and couldn't care less about being late. My husband on the other hand hates it! He will often refuse to go in or won't attempt to go at all if it looks like being late will be noticed or cause a scene. He does have a point that rolling into a room as a group of 6 is not usually missed. Luckily, the church is close to our house. We arrived, parked, unloaded, and got to the far side of the building and were scrambling to check in the kids in hopes of making less of a grand entrance during the beginning. The parking lot was full and they were closing doors. It was clear we were "last". I could hear the music beginning and expected to be hunting for empty seats in the dark. Just as I was signing in Ryder for his class, lights started flashing and a screeching siren sounded. I saw Matt's face immediately. It was priceless! He was already racing towards to door leading to the hallway. Honestly, I knew who was responsible! Ryder had pulled the fire alarm! The teachers were already evacuating classrooms and organizers were frantically searching for the source of emergency. I announced to each person with a look of panic on their face that it was a false alarm and that my son had pulled it. I continued with checking in the little ones. I was hoping to not have to take responsibility in front of the couple hundred that had stopped singing to evacuate! The best part is that Matt ran to the door of the kids area and just stood there like he didn't know what had happened! Ha! Later Ryder said, "I pull the thing and it said wee ooo wee oo!". Really, how would he know not to? It's bright red and eye level for him. It's typical for our family that not only would we not be early or even on time but that everyone would have to be evacuated because we arrived!
