Silence is golden, or so they say. And I must say that I quite agree with that old saying, tired and cliché as it may be.

What have you done?! Where have you put it?! I am most certain that it is YOU who is behind this noise that has been following me about all day and I do not wish for you to make any excuses or lie to me about this because I will know and I will find it and get you payback for this!!!
