Noises In My House That Annoy Me (WIP)

> The Internet router box which beeps every 18 minutes telling us it has a low battery
> The random watch in my brothers lunchbox that has an alarm set for 1:47AM and cannot be shut off
> The ice cream man who makes 7 trips down my block in an hour
> My mother asking "How was clown school?" when I return from Comic Con*
> The sound of everything when you have water in your ear



*In her defense, for some reason unknown to me, she actually was under the impression that I was at a clown convention. I'm not sure why. But she didn't explain that when she asked, so I assumed she was mocking me.


More to come!
