Cuckoo clock problem

The other night I was invited out for a night out with "the boys." I
told my wife that I would be home by midnight, "I promise!" Well, the
hours passed and the liqueur went down way too easy.
Around 3 a.m., a bit loaded, I headed for home. Just as I got in the
door, the cuckoo clock in the hall started up and cuckooed 3 times.
Quickly, realizing that my wife being a light sleeper, may have woken
up, I cuckooed another 9 times. I was really proud of myself for
coming up with such a quick-witted solution (even when slightly
smashed), in order to escape a possible conflict with her.
The next morning she asked me what time I got in, and I told her
"Midnight". She didn't seem pissed off at all. Whew! Got away with
that one!
Then she said, "We need a new cuckoo clock."
When I asked why, she said, "Well, last night our clock cuckooed
three times, then said, "Oh. Sh*t.", cuckooed 4 more times, cleared
it's throat, cuckooed another 3 times, giggled, cuckooed twice more
and then tripped over the coffee table and fell over.
ps: It wasn't really me. :)
