What in the Name of Mattel was THAT?????

So I'm minding my own business, ironing some shirts. I'm the only one home except for the old folks downstairs. I can hear their TV playing quietly, the gentle snores coming from the animals ( it is nap time after all ). I'm basically enjoying the peacefulness of the quiet. Out of the frikking blue I hear what sounds like satan coming through a walkie talkie, I swear to God. At first I wasn't even sure what I heard, so I listen, nothing else. Maybe a minute later I hear it again. Not a clue what its actually saying, but it sounds angry and evil. Now I'm thinking it really sounds like a walkie talkie, I wonder if someone has come up on my porch so I head to the door and BOOM, again this voice from hell. Now I'm in the hallway, trying to think of anything we have upstairs that would make such a bizarre sound or pick up radio waves. Nope, nothing. No electic toys, no walkies, no baby monitor (anyone thats had one knows what I mean). Now at least I know its coming from upstairs. So being more curious than scared, I start heading up the stairs. Well, it happens again and I realize its the bloody smoke detector. Why theres a woman in my smoke detector yelling at me, I'm not really sure. So now I'm thinking OMG is there a carbon monixide leak and she's yelling at me to save myself and leave her behind? No, cause the alarm would be going off too. I try listening right beside it and its saying "low battery" in garbled english and the french. I had no idea that there was a woman in there. Honestly, had I known I would have offered her a snack or something. But seriously, this is the first time in many years I forgot to change the batteries when the time changed. We so that twice a year without fail, except this year. So the mystery woman with the demon like voice was very helpful and may have saved our lives. If you can get a talking smoke detector its worth it. I wouldn't have had any idea the batteries were dying otherwise. So now I know my house isn't possessed, we have one extra mouth to feed (although she must be pretty small to be living in there) and I can go to sleep tonight knowing the batteries are good. If you haven't changed your smoke detector batteries GO DO IT NOW!!!! I mean it. Right now!! Its okay I'm finished writing so you won't miss anymore of my wit. GO!!!!!!!!!!
