You think you had a bad day!!!!

My parent’s house caught on fire last night. Thank goodness they were not home. The fireman said it was a fast burning fire. Their house is old and it didn’t take long for it to go up in smoke. They will be out of their house for at least 3 weeks. They need a new kitchen and dining room.
It is scary, they are very upset. My mother is especially up set because she is the one that accidentally left the burner on the stove on. She says she must have hit the switch when she was taking the bread out of her bread maker. Accidents happen, we are only human. Thank goodness dad wasn’t doing his usual thing and having a nap after supper, the smoke was so bad that he might not have made it out. Another thing that saved them from loosing their whole house is they have a security system. They called the fire department; otherwise if they waited for a neighbor to call the fire department the house would have been gone.
