For the first time since the boyz have lived with me, I set off the smoke detector. I was frying up some fish in olive oil and things got a bit smoky in the kitchen. Unfortunately it took me a while to figure out how to stop the awful piercing shrieking sound of the alarm. For hours afterward Thompson would not let me get anywhere near him. He kept giving me his "I'm not gonna be around that awful noise guy" look.
That's an awful noise!
ReplyDeleteWell, since my Mommeh only cooks in the microwave, we don't have to worry about that. But sometimes those things beep when the battery backup is getting low and it makes us very, very, very scairted!
ReplyDeleteOr when the carbon monoxide detector batteries are low.....That sound stinks too.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that happened to Jan a while back. We all ran for cover while she ended up yanking out the battery.
