Fire Alarm

I need to set this story up a little bit. With a houseful of people with coughs I decided to buy a couple more humidifiers. We have one that has been used a few times and two new ones. The first night they worked fine. The next night one of them didn't seem to be working properly. This third night I made sure the water was emptied and refilled, plugged in and ready to go. They seemed to be worker and we all went to bed.

TWO HOURS LATER...

The fire alarm went off.

We have 5 alarms upstairs all wired together. It was LOUD. We unplugged the humidifiers opened the bedroom doors and 5 minutes later the alarms went off. We had two kids sleep through this #2 and #5. My heart was racing and I was thinking, " Really. I don't need to add this to my list. My house is on Fire." All was just fine and the BAD humidifier is going back to the store. I was able to get back to sleep but only after I decided to start my blog with this funny story.
