cricket chirping

Setting: Allison and me driving home from gymnastics, listening to a live band CD.

Allison (age 10): Mom, did you hear the crickets chirping?

Me: What are you talking about?

Allison: When the lead singer tried to make a joke and nobody laughed, that awkward silence is what I call cricket chirping, because that is all you can hear.

Me: Of course.

That's my girl!
