Where Are My Children?

It's 4:25AM. About ten minutes ago, a car outside our window decided that its alarm should go off. For ten minutes. (with a 20 second break every minute) I first tried to sleep through it. Laugh about it. Then finally decided to get up, put on some earplugs (thank you, microlab), headphones, music, and do some reading. That's when, of course, the alarm just stopped for good. And now it's just me. 4:27AM. Doing readings alone in the kitchen.
