Blessynce


Quintessential killer kick

This story was shared with me by a Health and Safety Educator at St. Vincent DePaul church in the Germantown section of Philadelphia.

She was leading a lesson on Fire Saftey to a group of children aged 6-11 years old. "Now, imagine you are sound, sound asleep in the middle of the night. You hear a loud alarm going off. It's the sound of the fire alarm! What should you do next?"

Blessynce, aged 8 waves her hand and matter-of-factly replies, "You kick it down off the wall and 'den you kick it until you kill it."

Safe to say this was an empirically-derived answer? Think-a so.

What do you think Blessynce meant by "it?" The fire, or the alarm?

i think she meant 'kick it' in the 'fight for your right to party' sense snakes
