Ahhh the screaming
Jaimie on Nov 26th 2007
CJ’s volume control seems to be preset for LOUD.
“Use your indoor voice CJ.”
“OKAY MOMMY.”
“CJ, that’s too loud.”
“Okay. I sorry.” But less than a minute later, he’s back to yelling at the top of his lungs without even seeming to realize he’s doing it. And I’ve had the child’s hearing checked. It’s perfect. He just loves noise.
Couple that with Alexa, who seems to be fascinated with the fact that she can, herself, make screeching noises at will (and often), and the world seems 3 volume settings higher than I can comfortably exist.
Why is this? Why is screaming so fun? And if it is fun, when do we as adults lose our fondness for it? The kids obviously revel in the sheer NOISE and what fun it is to make it without feeling like their head is about to split open and their brains are going to ooze out. So why don’t I?
When did I lose the fondness for noise just for the sake of making noise?
Dang I’m old.
