“Hi, this is Operator #25 from your security system’s monitoring service. I’m calling to report to you a burglary breach at south bedroom window of your home.”
“Oh, that’s great news!”
[Crickets chirping] “Ummm, your HOME ALARM is going OFF. There is a breach.”
“True. But it also means we have POWER.”
“Okay. We called police dispatch to send a unit to your house, but they would not go because you do not have a current alarm permit for your county.”
“Oh, I’m so glad they didn’t go. That would have been a $50 charge without the permit.”

YEAH for power! My peeps still don’t have any!
I love that song, but I’m afraid it will be running through my head all afternoon just like you! Maybe we can meet in the middle and do a little dance!

If it was a real break-in, clearly we’re not missing what was taken. As long as they leave the penguin pacifier for Tato, we’re o.k. And my camera equipment. Oh, and my computer. And maybe the wireless router. Well, and the swaddle blankets.
