Police Are Friendly

So I've discovered the local police are very helpful and friendly people. I was house-sitting for my parents and their alarm went off this morning. Did I have the code? Nope. Bob told me what to do if the pool went crazy, but not the alarm! And there's the issue of WHY the alarm was going off - what was happening? Was someone trying to break in? Was there a power failure? Was the alarm screwed up? Emma wasn't acting all nervous or excited - just intrigued by the alarm. So off I set in my robe and just-styled hair and called 9-1-1. The police officer was very friendly and helped me to locate the alarm booklet after explaining the power had gone out in the neighborhood and I'd woken my aunt and parents up in Mexico for the code - which they didn't know. Amazingly through it all the officer didn't think I was too crazy (I hope) and I made it to school 2 minutes before the bell. I think that's too much excitement for the start of the semester, don't you?
