“Momma? You comin’?”
The other morning I woke up about 8 am and was listening to Sam (on the baby monitor) play happily in his room when an earthquake struck. Since I panicked over the last one we had, and I was pretty tired, I decided to wait it out and see what happened before I jumped up. It was all over in the amount of time it took me to think that through anyway. heh.
Just a rumble, rumble, rumble, SHAKE, rumble, rumble.
Sam was quiet for a minute and then spoke up in an alarmed voice:
“Momma? You comin’?”
“Momma? Sammy’s room is broken!”
Heh. He couldn’t think of any better way to describe it, and it just made me laugh!
The following comes from a great website that I follow (as well as everyone else out here). It is amazing to see how many earthquakes happen worldwide on a daily basis.
