Dear Smoke-Detector,

While I understand that you are an inanimate object and it may be difficult for you, I think that you need to go back to smoke-detector elementary school and learn how to tell time. At the very least, if you could learn that darkness indicates a time to be quiet unless it is a real emergency that would be highly helpful.

You see, your sudden panic attack this morning about the status of you battery occurred at a time that your humans were sleeping. You know how you were angry about your battery being weak, well, sleeping is when the humans recharge their batteries.

If you could have held off your panic attack for even two hours, it would have been annoying, but acceptable. But 5:30am is sleeping time, not beeping time.

And if you are so concerned with getting a new battery, why is your construction such that it is near impossible to access your battery? We do apologize for putting the battery in backwards, but you didn't need to make that sad dying sound when we did. But your overjoyous beeping and shouting at having the battery properly installed was quite obnoxious.

But look, Smoke-detector, overall I like you and you do a good job of protecting us humans from fire and carbon monoxide. Just remember next time, that the humans are more willing to be patient with you if you don't have your panic attacks during sleep-time.
