Joseph asked me this morning what an earthquake is like. We talked about it a little bit and I told him I hope he never has to find out what a bad quake it like.
Then I opened up CNN to find this waiting:
Strong Quake Rocks Nevada :: Epicenter 150 miles from Salt Lake City
Too close for comfort.
We may never know when an earthquake will hit Utah, but the best thing we can do for our kids is talk to them, have them be prepared. Tell them what to do when they are away from us, and then just live life. If we are scared all the time then it is no use. I think it is great that you were talking with J before you even heard about the one in Wells. I talked to a lot of people that day who were like, Umm maybe we should go get some water. The point is to have that stuff ready before you get scared into it. Way to be on top of things preparing your kids! I think that their mental preperation is as important as physical prep. Good mothering!
