I saw somewhere that “Fire” is a current word prompt, so I dug out this old, much used post.
Bet you can’t guess what this blog is gonna be about!!
I’m going to drag out an oldie that is one of my favorites (if I can find it)
It will fall under the category of “Truth is Stranger than Fiction”!

TRUTH..STRANGER THAN FICTION
Truth can sometimes be just that, stranger than fiction.
One day Gina (granddaughter)and I needed to get away from all distractions and had gone out to our “cave” to do a spelling test (we are homeschooling).
I’m thinking this was around fourth grade (she is in sixth now).
I had covered most of the words and read off the word “fire”. I always use the word in a sentence to re-inforce the useage so I stated, “Ready, aim, fire!!”
Instantly we heard,
“BOOM”!!
We both sat open-mouthed and stunned for a moment and then burst out laughing.
Gina said, “Grandma how did you do that!
It seems that our neighbor chose that moment to “fire” off a gun (possibly at a raiding varmint or just for fun) not an unusual occurrence around here.
The incident made our day, week , heck made our year!!!
