And what about that grandfather's clock?  You know the one, you know the story. You know who went around singing it.... 

Was that tick tock actually an attempt to hypnotise unsuspecting little grandchildren?

Ask the burning questions:

1) Was it really Grandfather's?

2) Or was it Grandma's and the grumpy old guy attached himself to it?

3) How did Grandma feel about that?

4) Was Grandma actually GLAD to have Grandfather out of the way as he spent hours just staring at that silly clock?

5) Was the clock psychic, to be able to stop exactly when Grandfather did?

6) Or was the clock just abnormal?

7) What about the ridiculous obsession of the grandson?

8) Does this obsession explain why there are 5 million clocks in that grandson's room today?

9) Is it coincidence?

10) Or was that clock really a one-eyed, one-horned, flying purple people eater in a clever disguise?

11) Just what did Captain Kangaroo know about it all?

12) And was the poor little cuckoo clock trying to warn us all along?

 What's your opinion?  Inquiring minds want to know.
