Hard Of Hearing And Desperately Insane

It sounded insane and I really felt silly doing it, but I was desperate and willing to try almost anything to get my computer to wake up, even this silliness. Besides, my daughter said it may help, and since I was alone, I dared to try it. But it didn't work (no surprise); even so, I kept trying, happy that no one could see me. But still no improvement.

"It doesn't help and I feel really silly doing it," I finally called daughter to say.

"Why do you feel silly?" she asked.

When I tried to explain, she began laughing.

"No, Dad," she squealed, "not your mouth; I said jiggle your mouse."
