I have a new incentive to wake Megan up. A kid's TV show. It's called Hi-5. I think it's an Australian show. It starts around 7 AM, still couldn't figure out just exactly what time it starts, so now Meg wakes up with me so she won't miss the beginning of the show. Every week they have a different song to start and end the show.
Last week, it was something like How much do I love you/ As far as I can see. This week's song is I'm feeling fine/ I'm feeling fine today/ The sun is shining and I'm feeling fine. I guess, it really is an Australian show since the sun hasn't shone this week here in UK.
So, I use the cell phone as an alarm. A couple of days ago, Meg woke up with me when the alarm went off. That night, Meg asked me,
Mommy, can the phone wake us up again tomorrow?
Oh, you mean the alarm?
Yeah, can it wake us up tomorrow.
Sure. Why, did you wake up when my alarm went off?
No, it woke me up when it went on.
Funny girl. But, it makes sense though. So, why do we say the alarm went off, when it actually went on?
