Di-di-di-dee

[poliphilo]

My mother has an alarm clock set for seven each morning. Usually she knocks it on the head immediately but sometimes she lets it run and run- Di-di-di-dee, di-di-di-dee- and whenever that happens- as it did today- I lie there thinking, "This is it...".

Is she actually hearing it when she lets in run on like that?

Maybe it could mysteriously disappear...

I don't know. She may have been over the far side of the room making herself a cup of tea.

I'd love it to disappear. I don't know what she thinks she needs to get up for.
