FW
Earlier today my mom was reading me a joke from the Reader's Digest about a lady who's apartment caught fire and she didn't have much time to grab anything before she had to get out; the one thing she made sure to get was a swimsuit because she said it was impossible to find a good one. This made me start to think about what I would grab if my apartment was up in flames. First I thought I would grab as many clothes as I could carry because well...I love clothes!! Then I thought well clothes can be replaced easily but I have things in my room that I couldn't replace; pictures mostly, a bear one of my best friends gave me when I left for school, dance clothes I've had from drill team, a stuffed monkey a past boyfriend won for me, things like that I cherish and have more than monetary value. I could never replace those types of items and to lose them would kill me. All those things that you love and have spent who knows how much on like clothes, shoes, cell phone, don't really matter because you can always get new stuff! What things would you want to grab if you didn't have time to get much? Just something that's kind of fun and interesting to ponder!

Well, that all depends on the variables surrounding the burning apartment and the allotted time given to acquire possessions. Is it just my house burning down or the whole neighborhood? Are there riots in the streets? Will I need means of defending myself? Did I set the fire myself, perchance? I'm being facetious of course but I would agree with the picture albums; I remember primary teachers asking this question and trying to coach us into saying in our tiny 8 year old voices "My Scriptures, Sister So and So", but later in life this made less and less sense to me considering that scriptures can be re-bought on the cheap and it's not like the Word of God is actually destroyed it's just your quad with some leaflets from old Sunday School lessons that you never read anymore, but on the other hand, a 48" Plasma Flatscreen TV, now that's something you would need to rescue indeed, unless you got the extended warranty from Best Buy, which nobody ever does.
