4. That's a tough one but
I'd have to go for the kid, she's only 3 and I think her mom stands a better chance of getting out by herself.

If I saved my spouse and let the kid go, I don't think she'd ever forgive me. And vice versa.

8. Other - my laptop. You don't think I'm going to sit on the lawn watching my house burn down,
and not even have internet access, do you?

12. Ginger. CMW knows how to get out of the house from any of the exists.
We've discussed this over the years, thus CMW's chances of surviving are significantly higher than 50 percent.

20. My spouse is on his own....
I'd save the children, and I'd expect him to do the same.

21. If I had kids, they'd be first - since I don't
My husband would grab me, I'd grab the dog. Although, when Bella's frightened she comes gets us, so maybe she'd grab us and we'd all go out together. :)

23. I'm not married, but I'm in a long-term relationship and I save my girlfriend before anyone else.
Not a chance that I pick anyone other than her, even if there are kids involved.
