Call Fail

We live right down the street from a small Mosque. It only has a half minaret. This is how close we are…

You can see the minaret from our pool right outside our door. 

 There is another larger Mosque up the hill from us. Probably double the distance of the other one. During the call to prayer, you can hear multiple Mosques around us. Now that Milly is up feeding around 5:30 every morning, I now hear the call every morning. I had gotten to where most mornings I could sleep thru it.

 A few days ago, Joel's alarm went off at quarter to 5. I was actually kind of asleep at the time. Then about 5, I hear the call to prayer and Joel jumps out of bed. Now a days I have no idea what time call to pray is. It's changed so much since the summer. Then it could be as early as 4am and as late as 10:40pm. I didn't really register the call and went back to sleep until Milly woke up to eat a few hours later.

 When Joel got home later that night, he said he had an amusing story to tell me. He said that morning he jumped out of bed because he thought he was late. He thought maybe the new alarm clock was screwed up or he had messed it up hitting the snooze button. Or did the time change? Not on a Wednesday. So he ran upstairs to grab his phone. But it said 5am too. So he check every clock in the house… all 5 am. Hmm… So he got ready for work. As he was getting ready to leave at around 6am, the call to prayer started again. That time he heard the other Mosque callers… had he only heard ours the first time? So he asked Murat when he got in the car what time the first call was supposed to be. 

Our Mosque caller…. TOTALLY screwed up! LOL. He did the call to prayer an hour early! Wonder what kind of trouble he got into?
