So life as a firefighter is known to the public as heroic, dangerous, exhausting, exhilarating, emotional and so many other things. After Daniel went to Cody's school and did a little presentation for the kids, one of the teachers asked what they do at the station when they have "down time". He gave a list of duties that can be perfomed on "down time". I kind of sat back and laughed to myself because I know the truth!
Really what they do all day is play pranks on each other! The other morning Daniel came home with a black eyelid and I thought oh no, what happened...did he hit his eye on his locker or who knows, on the fridge door at the station (since he does a lot of cooking). Sad that I wouldn't think did a beam fall down during a fire and hit him or did a combative patient hit him on a medical call. Well, come to find out that he was taking a shower and some of the other guys he works with were planning to play a prank on him by shooting an air soft gun at the ceiling (it was suppose to be empty) and dump Koolaid powder on him to make him think he got shot. It's all fun and games until the air soft gun had a pellet in it and the pellet ricochet off the wall hitting him in the eye and when looking down saw the red koolaid, thought they shot him in the eye and coincidentally, the other guys forgot they put the koolaid in the shower so when Daniel came busting out of the shower saying he got shot in the eye they all thought he was bleeding. After a few seconds and a few whiffs of the koolaid they all realized that it hit him in the eyelid and he was not bleeding. Funny guys! One of the many pranks pulled at his station...but don't let him fool you, he was involved or has been the mastermind of many!!
