She of course has completely misinterpreted my actions. She is telling everyone I hid behind her and made her go and investigate the cause. I had already accessed the danger and deemed it a false alarm - the box had fallen off the wall, triggering the alarm. I was giving her ego a boost. Letting her feel brave by tiptoeing to the phone already to ring 911. As if I'd let her walk into danger. When we will she learn I'm a gentledog - it's only polite to let woman and children go first!
