HOW SMART ARE YOU REALLY?

"...I'll just lie here and pretend I'm dead. She'll come home...see me, get all scared and snatch me up...calling my name ever so softly. She'll phone the vet, and just about the time he answers, I'll open my eyes, cough a couple of times and look up at her with one of my 'Jez, I think I'll be OK if I only had a treat' look. She'll be all happy and give me one of everything in the cupboard. Yuuuuppp (yawn)... that'll work!"

There are five things going on simultaneously which need to be taken care of:

1. The telephone is ringing.

2. The baby is crying.

3. Someone knocks at the front door or rings the doorbell.

4. There is laundry hanging on the line outside and it begins to rain.

5. The water faucet in the kitchen is running.

In what order do you take care of the problems? Jot down your answers.

Did you write them down?
OK......
