 Posted: 09/23/04 - 11:12 Post subject: You hear more than I think!
My son, who I've thought for a while might have a hearing problem (seriously), just came to me and said "Mom, I hear thing ringing in your closet." So, I go in the bedroom and I have to ask him to turn off the TV because I couldn't hear a thing. When he turned off the TV I heard the sound and it was coming from this travel alarm clock that was inside a leather duffle bag!!
He can't hear me say "clean up your room" but he can hear THAT!

Yes, but it takes a few more years until you master the art of shielding this superpower.

BTW, have you seen that commercial (can't remember the product, sorry) where the ref is being yelled at by the players and then the commentators ask something like "I wonder how he doesn't break under all that pressure" then they switch to the ref at home and his wife yelling at him in his face! It is too funny!
