Balloons and Telephones

Anna and Emma were blowing up balloons today and one of them popped while Anna was blowing it up. It was early in the morning so the alarm had not been disarmed yet,so it set off the glass break sensors and the alarm went off.  Before Vanessa and I could disarm it, the monitoring company called to make sure everything is ok.  This happened to us the other day too.

So a little later, Anna looks at me and says, "Daddy, there's a telephone lady who lives in our House.  But I don't know where she is hiding."  A bit confused, I asked Anna what she meant.  Anna explained that the telephone lady always knows what is happening in our house, so she was convinced she must be hiding somewhere inside watching us.

I smiled, and taught Anna how security alarms and monitoring work today.  But just in case anyone is wondering, you should know that the telephone lady lives in our house.  She hides.  You will never find her!  But she is our friend and helps us keep safe.
