i love the way thy little green light blinks to say “you will sleep safe tonight”
i love the way thou dost blend in so well with my off white ceiling
i love the way thy battery only dies at 5 in the morning
i love the way thou dost bleep every twenty seconds to tell me thy battery is dead
i love the way thou didst wake up my daughter with thy bleeping so she decided she needed to nurse which means i had to spend an entire nursing session listening to thy ear-piercing bleeps
i love how scary it is to pull out thy battery because if i don’t pull fast enough thou wilt do much more than bleep
i love how no matter how many homes i’ve lived in and how many times thou hast done this to me, i never think to have batteries in the house that are sized just for thee
and most of all, i fucking love how thou dost interrupt my sleep
Oh, wow–no one has ever made me laugh at 7:00 a.m. until this very second. Love it. And hate fire alarms.
ha ha ha! good stuff. you have such a way with words.

I FEEL YOUR PAIN!
LOL, thankyou!
I just peed my pants!
