Because the Postman loves me so much, he bought me a space heater to put by my desk because I am always
When I turned it off the other night, I apparently didn't turn it off completely. (I think it malfunctioned and now I'm scared of it.) After a few minutes the smoke alarm near my desk started going off. We quickly figured out the problem and as the Postman went to work on turning the heater completely off, I yanked the smoke alarm off the wall since the kids were already in bed and there was no imminent danger. Being the diligent human/parent that I am, I put the alarm on the bureau in our bedroom. Just until the next morning.
Except that the next morning? I was too lazy to pull out the step stool and climb up there to put the smoke alarm back on the wall.
So when I heard it beeping, I obligingly
When it continued beeping (apparently some sort of signal that it is not currently hard wired since I'm holding it in my hand), I shoved it under a pile of clothes in the Postman's closet.
At least the ones in the kitchen and near the kid's bedrooms are on the wall and working. I think. I would have to get the step stool to check.

lol! :) I have been telling Sparky that I have to get a space heater for when we move. I think though, if it made a smoke detector go off, I would freak the heck out and cry. I'm cool like that.
And, I would so hide the smoke detector in Sparky's clothes. That way, when he finds it, he'll think he put it there.

I love that you shoved it under a pile of clothes...totally sounds like something I would do. I used to be really bad about stealing the batteries from ours when I couldn't find any. I don't do that anymore (usually).
