Come On, Feel the Noise?

Actual telephone conversation with a co-worker this morning:

Me: Can you hear that?
Her: Hear what?
Me: You really can't hear anything?
Her: What are you talking about? I don't hear anything.
Me: Nothing? You don't hear a sound?
Her: No.
Me: That's because JACOB IS AT SCHOOL!

That's right; after countless hours of playing dinosaurs, race cars, and letters, and watching too many episodes of Caillou, Jacob started the first day of his last year of pre-school today. I haven't gotten the full report, but that may be because he had a friend come home with him today and they were too busy comparing which of them likes hotdogs the most to tell me anything.
