Me Grandpaw Hutchins went to bed at 9 o'clock every evening and rose at 5 the next day, like clockwork. If you were a visitor, you could stay as long as you wanted and have whatever you liked from the kitchen. But he was calling it a day.
One night as several of us were gathered around in the front yard he looked at his pocket watch and saw the time. On rising, he explained his courtesy, adding, "Don't even worry about making noise, because I'm taking out my ears." He removed his hearing aids as he spoke.
That was a load off our shoulders.
