gun violence

Sandy Hook has had a big impact. And it's heartbreaking when your kids come home from school and you have a conversation like this:

Addy - "Mom do you know what codes Yellow and Red are?"

Me - "No"

Addy - "Code Yellow means there is a fox outside our school building and when the intercom warns us, we are supposed to switch off the lights, stay quiet and sit on the carpet so that the fox cannot see us"

Me - "And Red?"

Addy - "Code Red means the fox is inside the building and is roaming around. We are supposed to be quiet, switch off the lights, close the blinds and go inside the bathroom with our teacher.

"And mom during the drill, we all fit inside! But me and Elise were talking and she said she doesn't want the fox to sniff her and i said if it does, me and Savannah will shoo it off."
