Saved by the Mail

On my mother's way out to work she saw on the dining room table a stack of letter's ready to be mailed. She asked my father if they needed to be mailed, and if he wanted her to mail them. My father answered that he was planning on mailing them later that day. My mother said that she'll just mail them, (even though its out her way). In order to pass the post office she went a different route she usually takes to work. A few minutes after she got to work she found out about the huge fire that happened right by the usual route she always takes. Mailing the letters saved her from being stuck in traffic and being close to the huge fire.
