you know the make-your-ears-bleed feedback sound a microphone will make sometimes? go find a mic and put your ear right next to it. and turn the volume up to about 100.
young children are capable of screaming louder and at a higher pitch than you think.
much, much louder and higher.
i will never cease to be amazed (not in a good way) at the capabilities of a ridiculously cranky and pampered two year old’s lungs. and no, i’m not exaggerating. i know what i heard. but i don’t really remember hearing much after that because my dang ears hurt.
I am familiar with bleeding ears. I have two very, incredibly loud children. And people keep buying them loud toys……like recorders. Yes, that’s right.
I never ever knew how much I would one day appreciate silence.
Aren’t you glad that you’re learning so much about kids before you have any?
