With an added line about the kind of stuff some people pull about the "I'm so much better than you, so even though an emergency/unusual situation has come up, I'm not going to chip in at all because it's beneath me."
I think it's important that good supervisors be able and willing-in-case-of-unusual-circumstances to do stuff. I don't think they need to do it all the time. The example you give is perfectly reasonable. Not unusual circumstances, you have RAs who are happy to do it, and who don't find it particularly unpleasant. There's no *need* for you to be willing to do it.
