Watches with alarms


"An alarm is beeping," I said, and all heads turned to me with looks of bewilderment.

"What?"

"There's an alarm beeping somewhere," I repeat, grinning from ear to ear.

It is pure delight to hear something that no one else in the room can hear! (Now that sounds like I need the help of a psychiatrist, doesn't it?) Both Gerry and Dad received new watches for Christmas and neither of them can use the alarm function, because they cannot hear the soft, high-pitched alarm. It comes through clearly to me, thanks to my enviable electrodes.
