We’ve got a baby monitor. It’s got a transmitter that you put up by the baby, and a receiver you put wherever you are (in my case, the basement). Nice for hearing if Zack wakes up, since I can’t possibly hear him two floors down.
Anyway, Alex and Kyra decided they wanted to play with it. They turned it on, and then one of them ran upstairs to the transmitter.
“Hi Alex!” yelled Kyra into the transmitter.
“Hi Kyra!” yelled Alex back. Of course, she couldn’t hear him, since it’s just a receiver.
“Hi Alex!”
(pause)
“Alex, can you hear me?”
(pause)
“Alex!”
(pause)
“ALEX!”
Alex figured out that she couldn’t hear him, so he tried to end the conversation:
“Kyra, that’s enough talking for now.”
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALEX!”
I was laughing pretty hard when Kyra stormed downstairs and demanded to know why Alex wasn’t answering her.
