The sound that shends shivers up my spine...

Luckilly, my little girl was built with an early-warning alarm system. Every time she's doing something of a dubious nature with food products, the alarm goes off.

The alarm goes "Mmmmmmm-MM! Mmmmmm-MM!" over and over again.

One time i heard it go off in the living room, getting louder and more frantic as it continued. That was the time she had found the cooled remnants of Mommy's Butter-Rum Mocha Coffee.

Just seconds ago the alarm went off when Molly discovered that, with the help of her rocking-pony, she can reach the top of our chest freezer (which I have been using as a kitchen counter while baking Xmas cookies). The "Mmmmmmm-MM!" alarm was letting me know that she had made her way through half a powdered-sugar Snowdrop Cookie and was on her way on to despoiling a second.

I'm thankful for the alarm system, but have come to dread that "Mmmmmm-MM!" sound in much the same way that i feel Englishmen who were around back in WWII dread the whining of an air raid siren.

Oh good! I need the space and the materials to (1) cut large circles (like 2-feet in diameter) out of a vinyl shower curtain and (2) re-attach them to a different vinyl shower curtain in order to create a home-made Mickey Mouse Shower Curtain.

Do they have something that would assist me in cutting out such a large circle?

Do they have the space for me to do such a project?

Any suggestions on what type of adhesive i should use? I'm thinking super-glue.

Thanks!

Is it really, really sad that the first thing I thought of when reading the "Mmmmmmm-MM! Mmmmmm-MM!"s in your entry was this?

I know... it could have also been This.

But it wasn't :)

Well, that's why I used my icon that kinda quotes Weird Al. ^_^
