A week or so ago I had a day where I was home and kept hearing a noise coming vaguely from the direction of my turtle, Progo's tank. It was a strange, sort of low, chirp-like sound, and I couldn't discern whether it was coming from Progo himself or from something nearby, like the refrigerator or something. I became almost convinced that Progo had an upper respiratory infection and was probably dying, and that this noise was his desperate wheezing. (This is still a possibility, because the little bugger doesn't eat anything except cat food and bananas, which is supposed to be a very bad diet for turtles), but eventually the noise stopped and I forgot about it. Today, I heard the same sound coming from right in front of me on the computer desk. It was my sister's cell phone. "Why's it DOING that?" I shrieked. She shrugged. "It chirps." Holy CHRIST. |
