Strange Voices

When we were visiting the library recently, a voice came over the public address system.

“The library will be closing in 23 minutes,” the voice informed us, “please bring your materials to the checkout desk now.”

My son, Joe, sensing the urgency in the PA announcer’s voice, said, “Mom, we have to check out now.”

“I’m looking for a book.  We’ll go in a minute,” I replied.

“But Mom....” Joe sputtered, “it said we have to go now!”

His older brother John reminded him, “Joe, you’re supposed to obey your mother, not the voice in the ceiling.”
