like daddit for the fediverse but we all eat pizza with ranch and say "ope" a lot. all dads and non-dads are welcome. ranch on pizza is recommended but not required. ope is mandatory.

The following interaction just took place between me and the child (6F)

Cue the periodic beeping of a smoke detector needing fresh batteries.

The child: what is that?

Me: a beep

TC: what is the beep trying to tell us?

Me: it's a reminder to beep

TC: BEEP!

Me: BEEP!

And so on and so forth for the next several minutes.

The beeps are very different, so I'm afraid you're fix doesn't really work either.

It may not work for you and your child because you know the difference. However, it will work as a joke for other people because they will not know.
