Caedon's Hearing Test

Last week, Caedon had his 5 year check-up at the doctor's office.  Here is his conversation with the nurse as she tried her best to perform a hearing test on him:

Nurse - "Ok, Caedon.  Here is a special button that I want you to push every time you hear a noise coming through those earphones on your head.  Do you understand?"

Caedon - "All right."

Long Pause...........

Nurse - "Did you hear anything?"

Caedon - "Yeah...just a beeeeeeep."  (high-pitched noise)

Nurse - "OK.  Whenever you hear any noise, you need to push the button.  Let's try again."

Long Pause..........

Nurse - "Did you hear anything?"

Caedon - "Yeah....but it was a baaauuump sound." (low-pitched noise)

Nurse - "All right.  Caedon, no matter what the noise sounds like, you need to push the button whenever you hear anything, ok?"

Caedon - "OK"

Long pause............

Nurse - "Did you hear anything?"

Caedon - "Yeah, but it was coming from far away...I think it was in the other room."

Nurse - "Caedon, when you hear any noise, you need to push the button, ok?"

Long pause......

Caedon - (shouts out) "I heard a beeeep."

Long pause.......

Caedon - (shouts out) "I heard something!"

Nurse - (tries to control her laughter) "I guess we'll do this his way." And she continues the test with Caedon shouting out everytime he hears a noise.  

She finishes up the test and Caedon announces, "I'm done doing this now.  It's really boring."
