The Clock

I put the clock that we bought from Ikea up in the boys room. They went to bed, we read a story, I turned off the light.

Three seconds later, they shouted "I can't sleep because of the clock". It does have, I have to admit, quite a loud tick. Obviously, in a $2.99 clock, you don't get a battery, so you can't hear it in the shop.

I've put it in the kitchen. S says I might have to take the battery out, because she won't be able to sleep.
