Ok so I'm sitting alone in my quiet house this morning when I |
|
hear....gong cuckoo; gong cuckoo; etc...
at first I thought it was the chime on my wall clock, but it isn't a cuckoo clock...hmmm, I said. Then it stopped.
little while later, here it came again....mmmmmm..WTF I said???
It dawned on me...it was the alarm setting on my daughter's cell phone.
Had a good laugh over that one. Not bad for an electronic imitation of a cuckoo clock!!
Made me miss the one we had growing up, which started sounding like it had a sinus infection after it fell of the wall a couple of times.

1. My mama got one of those for Christmas once |
|
a few years ago, Cuckoo clock that is- came from Germany. It was beautiful.... but, I hated that thing.
Scared the crap out of me when I was skipping school. Woke me up during naps. Drove me insane sometimes.
Like I said though... that thing was beautiful.

2. Anybody remember those little Hansel & Gretel barometers? |
|
Also made in Germany, they looked sort of like a cuckoo clock but had Hansel & Gretel on a sort of little carousel with the wicked witch. When the weather was supposed to be fair, H&G would come out of the little door, if rain it would be the witch.
Your mentioning the cuckoo clock just reminded me of these. I haven't seen one in years.
