Kitchen Clock

I left my parents' house today. This morning the rest of the family had left for church, and I had just loaded up my car to return home. I sat alone at the kitchen table finishing my breakfast. As I sat there I heard each tick of the kitchen's clock. I found the ticking irritating. As I listened to the clock count each passing second I had a realization. That clock has been in the kitchen for ten years and today was the first time I've ever heard it.

I have a loud family.

SO which noise do you prefer, the family noise, or the ticking clock?
