Augustine triggered the condo alarm today. He found this little red button near my bed, and like all inquisitive two year olds, he prodded the red button before we could stop him.
Then the condo alarm broke out. The building security called us, sounding worried, "Is everything alright?"
We apologised profusely, and security came up twice to try reseting the alarm, to no avail. We would have to call the security company ourselves tomorrow to deactivate the alarm. The whole episode was quite traumatic to Auggy, and it went something like this:
Me: See, no one will believe you now if anything happen to us. No one will save us in the future if bad guys come because the security will think that you are playing with the alarm.
Auggy: I won't do it ever again...
Me: The alarm is only to be pressed when bad guys come. But do we have any bad guys with us today?
Auggy: No...
Me: Hear that siren? The police will come and take you away if they can't find the bad guy.
Auggy: (voice shaking) No police...I won't do it again...
*Doorbell rings, security came up the first time*
Me: See, security is here to take you away.
Auggy: (voice breaking) No...
*Security went off, Auggy hugged me like a koala*
*Hubby got out of shower, found out what happened*
Hubby: See what you have done. Out of the house you go. The security will take you away when he next comes up.
Auggy: (wails) No.....!!!
*Security came up a second time. Hubby dragged Auggy to the door and out of the house. Auggy whimpered miserably*
Auggy: I won't do it ever again....boohoohoo....let me in...
*Hubby let him in, he hung onto me for dear life. Tired, miserable, and sleepy, he fell asleep within 5 minutes of getting on to bed*
