Why Midnight?
Thursday, January 31st, 2008Why do the batteries in smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms always go dead at midnight–and so beep every ten seconds all night long? [BEEP]
Why are the alarms hung so high on the ceilings that I can’t reach them, even with a ladder? [BEEP]
Why do they choose to die on a night when my husband is in at the hospital all night? [BEEP]
Why do they choose a night when I’m too busy to sleep in or nap the next day? [BEEP]
(I’ll give you one guess what happened last night.) [BEEP] (yawn)
