The Smoke Alarm Narrative

About 6 months ago, Ben set off the smoke alarm while cooking hot dogs. Dexter was in his highchair watching My Bologna go nuts and Ben frantically waving a towel at the smoke detector. Apparently, this was an exciting event for Dexter. We couldn't go anywhere without him pointing out every smoke alarm, "Moke arm". A few weeks later, Dexter said, "Moke arm go beep beep beep." A few weeks later, he said, "Daddy. Hot dogs. Moke ararm go beep beep beep." A couple of days ago, he said, "Daddy clean moke ararm with towel." As Dexter's vocabulary evolves, so does the narrative of the exciting smoke alarm event.
