I love being a grandma. My little 5 year old grandson was watching his show on the TV in my craft room and I was sewing something that required me to start and stop, start, stop, after about 5 minutes he turned around and said, "Grandma, can ya stop with that crazy sewing machine!" It struck me that it no doubt would be irritating to try to watch somethingon TV, with the whirring starting up, going on about ten seconds and then stopping.
