Be Careful With Your Words

Once upon a time in the wonder of a land called "Central Park Apartments" JJ and Nichole were fixing to make dinner after a long day of school work when they were disturbed by a shrieking-devil-of-a-noise. Only seconds revealed that the fire alarm had gone off! Stunned, they looked around for smoke and found none at all so proceeded to the lobby to find a crowd. They inquired with an outlying couple to find the cause of all the commotion was simply put--the opposite of a chef. Now, JJ laughed and smirked: "Wow, they must not know how to cook."(something like that anyway) For the next while they would walk by the "fire-alarm-setting-off-apartment"and smirk at the happenings: "How embarrassing that would be."

Time had passed and on a snowy Saturday morning JJ and Nichole decided to make eggs for breakfast. Chef JJ was finishing up toast and with a frying pan which had recently become free--he decided to fry some cheese. (Yeah, you read that right--fry some cheese.) He sprinkled shredded cheddar cheese on the frying pan and watched it turn golden and crispy. Proud of himself, he lifted the pan to show his wonderful, understanding, and oh-so-intelligent wife when the unthinkable happened. That shrieking-devil-of-a-noise happened. His face turned an endearing shade of red and the two of them panicked to stop the alarm before the whole building was woken up on such a peaceful morning. Nichole, being as smart as she is, grabbed a near-by towel and shook it in front of the smoke detector. The shrieking-devil-of-a-noise stopped and luckily did not catch on to the rest of the building. (PHEW... we dodged a bullet there.) To be safe, they took turns shaking the towel and eating for the remainder of the mentioned meal. JJ vows never to fry cheese in this building again.

What is the moral of this story? You decide.
