Foreboding

Fear is static that prevents me from hearing myself.

Leslie complained because she had to repeat herself over and over to her mother.  Then she complained when her mom got new hearing aids, saying, "She got new hearing aids and now she hears everything."

 

Personally, I think Leslie should be grateful her mom got hearing aids and not hearing aides.  Because that would mean there would be extra people running around the house loudly repeating everything Leslie said to her mom.  And that would be really annoying.  Plus, they'd probably leave milk cartons in the refrigerator with like only a little bit left and no one needs that aggravation.
