This morning, I woke up as I do many mornings--to the sound of Reilly crying. Through my grogginess, I walked to her room and opened the door, but was surprised to find that she was sound asleep. I then realized that the sound I was hearing was not Reilly, but an ambulance passing in the distance.
I went back to bed and got under the covers, and I couldn't help but marvel at how closely the siren of the ambulance mimics Reilly's cries. I wonder if this was an intentional choice by the inventor of the siren? If you think about it, there is nothing that gets your attention like a crying baby--or a screaming emergency vehicle.
