The Mouse Did Indeed Run Up The Clock!
December 8th, 2009
Today is clock and mice day (mostly clocks). My father has a grandfather clock that’s been in his family for generations. This clock has had an interesting time of it – once when it went dead, my aunt, in a drunken haze, laid hands on it and conjured up its ring. Oddly, it worked. Whenever I go to their house, the thing bongs every 15 minutes and drives me nuts. But it’s not on the REAL 15 minute cycle – it’s on its own. This clock almost scares me. And just to annoy me, every time I walk by it gives out a little mini-bong. I know it’s laughing at me.
