Covered in Lava but otherwise ok

We had a significant enough earthquake today to shake some buildings and leave us uneasy. We evacuated our building in somewhat ordinary but urgent manner. We were well trained and it showed as we poured from the building and assembled in the parking lot.

Phone lines were jammed and I wasn't able to get in touch with my family until later in the day. When I finally got through my wife relayed this conversation with our four year old.

"Daddy was in the earth quake today,but he's ok," said my wife.

"He's ok? Is he just covered in hot lava?" asked Molly.

"No, he's not covered in lava."

"He just has lava then and he's ok."

"No honey, lava wasn't involved. It was an earthquake not a volcano."
