My kids make lots of noise.
If you are one of those people not used to being around kids - my kids and their noise will ...
WEAR YOU OUT!
OVERWHELM YOU!
MAKE YOU ... COMPLETELY CRAZY!
I am around my kids all the time and ....
THEY MAKE ME - CRAZY!
My husband and I were in the car recently, driving across town to look at a car we were thinking about buying.
In the back seat was our son.
He had been working with his dad all day and was a bit tired.
He was a bit hungry.
He was a bit - wired.
He began to laugh.
Not at anything.
Not with anyone.
Not for any particular reason.
He just began to laugh.
He started out laughing in a giggle-like laugh. Sort of squeaky - sort of quietly - pretty annoying.
Then ...
He got LOUDER!
He started laughing with a rhythm - like a song.
Short spurts - no words - laughing in the tune of a song ..
HA HA -- HA HA -- HA HA HA --- HA -- HA ...
*sigh*
Then ...
He got REALLY LOUD!
He began to laugh like a machine gun - long hahahahahaha and then a short haha--haha-haha-- long hahahahahahaha and then a short haha--haha--haha ...
*sigh*
REALLY LOUD AND REALLY ANNOYING!
I turned around ...
I said ...
"WILL YOU STOP DOING THAT!"
He didn't stop.
My husband - totally unaware of this bizarre and LOUD ongoing annoying behavior going on in the back seat of the van - says ... "Just ignore him - that's what I do," he keeps on driving.
"Does he do this all day long," I ask.
"Pretty much," my husband responds.
"Does this sound funny?" my son asks and then offers up yet another ear-piercing, drawn out, ridiculous rampage of giggles.
I turned around and watched.
The small boy was putting an obnoxiously huge amount of energy and effort into this laughing episode.
I tried to bite my tongue.
I tried to find the humor.
I tried -
I tried -
I tried -
I tried -
I tried -
But ...
Instead ...
I SCREAMED ....
"YOU. ARE. DRIVING. ME. CRAZY!"
He stopped.
On the upside ... Then ... I laughed - LOUDLY - like a machine gun - long hahahahahaha and then a short haha--haha-haha-- long hahahahahahaha and then a short haha--haha--haha ...
