Burning Down the House!!!

So, Nana's bishop called Brad about 4:00pm yesterday afternoon to say some neighbor kids saw smoke billowing out of Nana's house. So Brad and I jump in the car and race over to her house, trying to reach her on her cell phone (what a clever concept it would be to carry it with you!) or house phone in the mean time. As we drive up Fairway, we see at least 25 neighbors gawking up the street to see a police car and two firetrucks parked in front of Nana's house. We park by the next door neighbors and started running to the house. The police man wouldn't let us through. After a little while the fireman came and talked to us and said a pan was on the stove and nobody was home. They had a blower at the front door trying to get the smoke out. A little while later they took us inside to show us the damage. There really was none, only a little black on the stove. They checked the attic spaces to make sure there were no flames up there. After about 30 minutes, Nana drives up. She had been at bell-ringing practice and had the thought (did I put the beans on the stove?, No, I must not have, because I didn't put the ham in it.) Then as she was taking her friend home, she declined the offer to go in her friend's house to visit. She felt she needed to get home quick.
