The following interaction just took place between me and the child (6F)

Cue the periodic beeping of a smoke detector needing fresh batteries.

The child: what is that?

Me: a beep

TC: what is the beep trying to tell us?

Me: it's a reminder to beep

TC: BEEP!

Me: BEEP!

And so on and so forth for the next several minutes.

Sadly, without a new battery in the smoke detector, the house burned down shortly after. (The detector was so busy beeping due to its low battery that nobody realized it started beeping because of smoke.)

    There was a battery in there - how would it beep otherwise?
