Off To See The Wizard

Last week there were some terrible storms in the area where I live.  I was at work, while my husband was at home with the kids.  He sent me a text telling me how bad the weather was.  I looked at the radar and saw the area was covered with rain and thunderstorm warnings.  My husband became so concerned with the dark skies and wind that he decided that he and the kids should take some precautionary measures and prepare for the worst.  He told me this was one of the scariest storms he had ever seen.  The wind was whipping the small birdhouse, in one of the trees, in all directions.  He told the kids to grab what they would need in case of a tornado and get in the closet as soon as possible.  While he rounded up the dogs, the kids grabbed their stuff.  He met them in the closet and asked what they had grabbed.  My son proudly showed my husband that he had brought two pillows and a flashlight.  My husband was impressed.  He turned to my daughter to see what she had felt was important, only to see her standing there with a pair of ruby red slippers in her hands.  Someone was prepared in case she made a trip to Oz.  She sure wanted to make sure she could get home.  It's a good thing her brother has her back and grabbed two pillows.
