I found an analog stopwatch on the kitchen table and pressed a button on it. I started freaking out when it started ticking, thinking that it was a ticking time bomb. I went to my mother and asked, "Mom, are there any bombs in Oklahoma?" She said that there might be somewhere. "Are there any in this house?!" Man, I was so relieved that she said no, because I thought we all were dead for sure!
