Strange and Odd Noises

On Wednesday night we were on our way out for dinner for my birthday. Palm Beach County has been under curfew since the hurricane hit. On Monday and Tuesday, it was 8PM, so we assumed it was still 8 on Wednesday. (We were wrong, it was 10.) So we were scrambling to get to a restaurant we knew was open at 5, so we would be able to eat and get home before curfew. We knew it could be crowded and we had to factor in time for a wait.

We were on our way out the door when we heard a sound. My spouse and I looked around and I said, "Was the the house alarm?" He shook his head. We heard it again. He said, "What is that? Is that your cell phone?" I replied, "No, my cell isn't working yet. Is it yours?" He said it was not. We heard the sound yet again and we looked at each other and started to laugh. It was our telephone.

We hadn't heard it in three days and weren't expecting it to ring again until the 18th and possibly the 24th. In our heads, that sound was gone and we did not expect to hear it again any time soon. We still laugh about it. Who would think that one would not recognize the sound of their own phone? Heh.
