A recent emergency

My now sopping wet son was cottaged behind the furnace with a cigarette in his hand

I has never been honestly great in emergencies. All of my usual sense goes out the window. I don’t panic, even though I absolutely don’t do the smartest things. Last week, I was downstairs doing the laundry. I do not care that our washer and dryer are in the furnace room, however that is how our lake new home is set up. It doesn’t make it super easy for me to handle, but until every one of us can get a bit of extra currency, I will have to share a room with the furnace. Normally, I don’t think about the sounds and smells down there. Sporadically, I smell a whiff of oil if they have just put fuel in the tank. I caught my sixteen-year-old child hiding down there a couple afternoons ago, and now I am thinking too much. I smelled the smoke the hour I got into the furnace room. None of us smoke in our house, so I notice it everywhere every one of us go. When I smelled the smoke, I thought there was something wrong with the furnace. I thought I should call the Heating and A/C supplier first, but if I smelled smoke, it could be a fire. Maybe I should call the fire supplier initially. I looked to see if I could detect any smoke anywhere, even though I saw nothing. A whiff of smoke hit my nose again, and I threw a measuring cup full of water in the direction of the smoke and I called 911. I no sooner said hi, even though I heard a voice. My now sopping wet son was cottaged behind the furnace with a cigarette in his hand. I apologized to the operator and told her everything was fine, and I had butt dialed. My son didn’t get off so definitely when his father came home.
