Riddle Me This....

I am about to share something with you all that is somewhat embarrassing, but is something I also find down right hilarious!!

On Christmas day my son, daughter in-law and 4 month old grand-daughter were here. We were all talking when we kept hearing this beeping, it sounded like a cell phone when it warns you the battery needs charging. Well, we searched this house trying to find out where that noise was coming from and was not having any luck. We could tell the sound was coming from the area by the tv, but there was nothing over there that would be making any kind of noise.
Even though we completely perplexed by this, it was time for us to go to my in-laws for lunch.

Now there are 9 of us sitting in the sunroom at my in-laws chit chatting, (not including the baby), when all of a sudden we hear that noise again! ER?? It was coming from where my husband was sitting, so myself, son, and daughter in-law all point at him and say, pretty much at the same time, "It's coming from YOU!!" This completely startled everyone else in the room who had no clue what we were talking about. OOPS! hahahahahaha.

Then we explain it to them and as if on cue, that noise sounded off again. Each and everyone of us began searching for where it could possibly be coming from. We kept saying, "What was in our house that is now in this house?" and there was absolutely nothing except us, and we didn't have anything on us that was causing it.

We were like a crew on a scavenger hunt, searching for an invisible sound. I tell ya, it was hilarious! Every time we would hear it, we would peak our ears, cock our heads, and begin to look where we thought it could have come from. YAY, Party Games!! hahahahaha

Finally, my husband noticed that it was coming from the tv itself. We had the same football game on at our house as they had on there. So now all we had to do is figure out what was causing that noise? Well, every time they put a message up on the screen it would make that noise to get your attention so you would know to read that darn message. Read the message?? It did get our attention though...hahahahaha.

My question to all of you out there that watch football on ESPN is this:

Did you know what that noise was the first time your heard it, and if not, did you go on a scavenger hunt to find it too?

We all felt like a bunch of idiots! But we sure did have a hardy belly laugh over it!!
hahahahahaha

Hope your day was filled with hardy belly laughs as well!
