A request to parents

[Pinot's Mom]

All I can do is sympathize with you all. I have been there, though not in a very long time, and hated it as well. We now live in a place where, most of the time as a friend put it, you can hear a pin drop....

I hope you can somehow correct your noise issues.

At 8 am this morning, on my enclosed (but windows opened porch) Jonah let out a scream that startled both me and my neighbor (who was out in the backyard). We BOTH said something to him about it...the fact he scared both of us, the volume, the tone, the hour (thankfully, everyone but the two of us have on their A/C, etc.). I think he really 'got' the wrongness of what he did, and why it shouldn't be done. But, I do know he will do it again. He is a child.

WHY did he scream? The cats were running out the front door as he was trying to get out. His scream had its rightous affect on them.
