Sound Proof

Why do little girls scream? I think it's an inherent gene of small females. Any excuse will do. It could be something as serious as older brother punching her, or it could be the fact that she's been stuck in the van for several hours and feels she's entitled to a little noise making. Whatever the case, it's a given.

I think if I had a nickel for every time I said, "Settle down, Brianna," or "No screaming in the house," or the classic, "Use your inside voice," I would be a very rich mom. I could probably afford a sound-proof room for her. Or me!
