What's that there musical box, young whippersnapper?
Wow ... I must really be showing my age when I reference a fold-up travel PDA-clock thingamajigger as a "little musical box" simply because at the time of my statement, it was playing an elaborate tune as its alarm.
Little musical box. Riiiiight. I was so startled by my comment that I added, " ... I was trying to quiet the little man inside. Who was singing in a very distracting loud voice." -cough- Yeeeeeah.
The owner of said gizmo, an eleven year old girl, mind you, with a passion for gadgetry (like myself, though after that comment, you'd wonder) just stared at me.
"It's a combination alarm-clock-calculator-calendar-radio."
... Why, of course it is.
Aye, yaye, yaye.
Did I mention it was smaller than my cell phone?
