“What works for one kid doesn’t always work for another.”
Exactly, looks like these two were able to read the situation well and came up with a good solution. I’ve been a firefighter and had to deal with people under immense stress and shock. It’s not just the kids. I and a buddy stayed in a burning house until we were almost out of air because we thought someone was still in it. Ends up a friend of his had bought a new truck and came by and gave him a ride. Wife comes home to the house engulfed in flame and his car there but no sign of him. I have never seen someone as messed up as she was.
