And then last week we had a double murder and suspect running through our neighborhood. And you know how small and quiet our town is.<br />All this makes me sad. Our children will grow up with metal detectors and safely drills in schools. I suppose our parent s did with nuclear war threat and their parents in world war 2. It is just awful that the threat is now in our backyards, isn't it.<br />I think it is probably for the best you son was oblivious, right?Stashahttp://www.northwestmommy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5828878021997028927.post-8589878830742283762011-10-10T18:34:38.671-07:002011-10-10T18:34:38.671-07:00It makes me sad that we are bringing up our childr...It makes me sad that we are bringing up our children in a world where we have to have lock-downs. We never know if it is a drill or the real thing...which it was several times at my old school, not because we were in danger, but as a precaution. One time a stolen car was ditched in our parking lot and the suspect took off on foot. Lock down. Another time was a robbery at a dry cleaners about 1.5 miles away. Again, a precaution. Better safe than sorry, but it always scares the kids. Makes the teachers nervous too since we don't know if it's real or a drill. The worst one was when I had an irate father coming in and the child had said multiple times "This school better watch out when my daddy comes up here." He had just taken her out of class and literally a minute later they called a lock down. It was just a drill because the safe schools team was there for an audit, but whoa, it scared me!<br /><br />I missed last week's Castle. I always forget about it until half way through. :(Merrillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05416156518869596104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5828878021997028927.post-74441025299048387842011-10-07T13:02:31.310-07:002011-10-07T13:02:31.310-07:00That is sort of crazy that you didn't get more...That is sort of crazy that you didn't get more info on what the man was doing. I like what you said, though...crossing the street without looking. You make me laugh!<br /><br />What is Castle? <br /><br />Romance, huh? I may need to go to that first speaker, too. :) I could give a good talk on how to be Oscar the Grouch, if the conference is needing a speaker on that.No Greater Lovehttp://thecroslands.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
