Pulling the Fire Alarm

Posted:

I think I was five years old when I pulled the fire alarm at the public library.  A loud alarm sounded, and the librarian had to use a key to push the switch back in to turn it off.

I got a lecture afterward, but I was just a curious, little five-year-old who didn't know better, so I didn't get a harsh punishment.  It's not like I was an elected official who was trying to illegally obstruct a government proceeding.
