I remember one time it was the aftermath of a hurricane and my cat Kika was very thirsty and it had been a while since we were permitted to use our tap water and I had no water to offer her... thank goodness Dad arrived home with some more water.
Once when I was like 9 me and my little cousin (she was like 7) had to hide in the bathroom with my grandma because we heard the tornado alarm go off. It was scary !
