bad choice- no one to blame but myself

Alright, I am always telling the kids to make good choices-I must say this was not a good one. For Frances' birthday we got her a cuckoo clock (by we- I mean I picked it out so no one to blame but me). The thing is loud and since I work from home a great deal it scares me to death all the time. It cuckoos and then meows. Brilliant!!!
