One Big Happy by Rick Detorie for March 13, 2016

I don’t get it?

He put the musical card in the refrigerator so he couldn’t hear it. Now Ruthie’s found it and she and her mom don’t know what it is or how it got there.

I bought a musical card for someone when I opened it to fill it out, the music wouldn’t play. So I took out the device and threw it away. I was woken up 4am with a repetitive tune playing over and over again – the device had started working in the dustbin!

I received a musical card over ten years ago and it still plays…

I have an ancient musical card with an actual keyboard on it that you can play, only now it sounds like a dying munchkin’s final wail. Ooh, agony!

I was sent one last year that started playing even when the card was closed. I dug into it and pulled the wires I found in it. It still played! Five minutes later, after a trip to the tool-box, it didn’t…

I had a coffee cup that played the tune “My Way” every time someone picked it up. Did so right up until the time I did it my way and intentionally put it in the microwave oven. 5 seconds was all it took.

How can they sleep with the bedroom door open? I couldn’t do that.

A musical card sounds nice at first but gets too old fast.
