Tick, Tick.

I recently bought a new clock for my Kitchen. I was so proud. Got just the right color and everything. So I get it home and insert the battery, bang a nail into the wall and hang New Clock. I step back to admire my handy work, and realize. THIS CLOCK IS LOUD.
After work that afternoon my sister visits me for a quick chat and all I can think about is this crazy clock. She can't even hear it. I must be going crazy. Every five minutes or so, "That clock has gotta go!"
That was about a week ago, and now I'm up to twenty minutes. I'm so happy. Maybe I can keep the clock after all.
Reminds me of another occasion. With my sister and clocks.
I think I'll save that one for now.
