Boring Post for Saturday--The Timer

My grandson loves small electronic devices.  He likes my remotes, my garage door opener, my phone and phone substitutes.  He uses calculators and timers as those.  I try to keep the good electronics up and let him play with the broken ones.

Lately, I have had a time problem.  My good timer had the battery go bad.  I am looking for the right sized button battery but haven't found one yet.  I forget to look sometimes or I would probably have found it.  So I purchased some other timers that I don't like nearly as much.  My grandson loves to get his hands on those things.

There is one that I don't use because it seems too complicated to remember the directions and be sure that it is set right. That is the timer my grandson loves because it makes a satisfying beep.  He was playing with it the last time he was at my house.  He complained at one point that he lost his phone.  I didn't pay too much attention to that.  We went on and played with other things.

I wish that I had paid more attention to the missing phone.  At 3:30 am that night the timer went off like an evil imp.  I could hear it but I had trouble finding it.  It was under some things by the front door. I smashed the buttons and mashed the buttons and it finally quit.  I just hoped that it wouldn't wake up late and give me the beep beep again.

So, this timer I need to put up high before my grandson comes over again.  This timer is evil.  It does the business of the devil.  It wakes me from a sound sleep.
