Owen is borderline obsessed with smoke alarms. From time to time around the house, he will announce, "Smoke alarm beepin'." (It isn't.) For a while, he would stare at the smoke alarm in his room, but he seems to have gotten over that, which is good for his sleeping. His newest thing is to point out smoke alarms in his books, sort of. He has two different books in which he will definitively point at a blank section of wall in a picture and declare, "Smoke alarm." I can only conclude that he is pointing out where the smoke alarm ought to be. He's deliberate about it; not just any blank wall will do. He'll say, "Wanna talk about smoke alarm," then flip through the book until he finds the right picture of blank wall.
I guess I'm glad he's into smoke alarms as opposed to, say, fire. And the whole thing is cuted a bit by his reluctance to pronounce initial "s" sounds. So he really says, "Wanna talk about moke alarm."

Congratulations! Your son has shown a higher degree of capacity for personal responsibility than a child.
Observe:
There is a general duty on every person to act in the manner that an ordinary, reasonable, prudent person would if similarly situated. A breach of this duty is negligence (with a little "n") and if negligence is the proximate cause of damages, then the victim has a good claim for Negligence (big "N")
Certain exceptions are made for (not by way of limitation) children. Children are said to be unable to appreciate certain dangers.
Clearly, because O William "wanna talk about moke alarm" he can and shows great prudence.
The bad news is that he can now be sued for Negligence as an adult, so Shhhhhh ixnay on the udentpray
