No! No! No! It's Burning!

From the other room I hear yelling and crying…

Liv:  Nooooo!!!!  There’s a fire!!!  There’s a fire!!! 

I start running through the house toward the back room…

Me:  Liv, where are you?!?!  I’m coming!!!!

On the couch she sits, crying her eyes out…

Me:  Liv!!!  Where’s the fire?

Liv:  My house!  My house! 

Me:  I don’t see anything.

Liv:  It’s spreading!!!

Me:  WHAT. ARE. YOU. TALKING. ABOUT?

Liv:  On Minecraft.  Everything is burning!!!  I can’t stop it!!!

Me:  Seriously?  You are crying over Minecraft? 

Liv:  You don’t understand.

Me:  Nope.

Aud comes in the front door after basketball practice about 10 seconds later…

Me:  Aud, can you help your sister, please? Her house is burning down.

Aud runs off to save Liv’s house.  Aud is on her Nook and Liv is on her Nook and they are battling the blaze.

Liv:  It’s ruined.  The whole place is flooded.

Me:  Well, at least it’s not on fire anymore.

Liv:  Ruined, mom, ruined.

Aud:  Well, I guess we’re going to have to call Suzie.

Me:  Why are we going to call Suzie?

Aud:  Mom, she owns SERVPRO and they do flood damage?

Me:  Aaaahhh, you’re right.  I’ll text her.

One thing that Minecraft has done for our family is given the girls an opportunity to work together.  They sit next to each other and design buildings and do all kinds of other crap that I refuse to learn.  They laugh and ask and give help.  It’s kinda freaking me out.

My adrenaline did rise thinking about the 911 call, which would result in a fire truck, and FIREMEN.
