"GGGrrrrrrooooossshhhhBA!"

Have you ever wondered where in the world little boys get their ability to make sound effects??? It's beginning to drive me bonkers. There are many things that baffle me when it comes to living with all male creatures and little ol' me stuck to my lonesome self. But really, is that a defect(I mean trait)that they were born with? Now that Jackson has found the wonderful world of Star Wars (thank you so much Brad & Theresa) the problem (to me, not them) has turned into an epidemic. If they (meaning 3 of the 4 male creatures in this house) drop their fork, "SHABOOM" (sound effect). If they run across the living room floor, "ffffffff" sound effect. As they shut the bathroom door, "eeerrrrrr" sound effect. Swish, swoosh, squish, mush, mash, bash, snatch, bam, shhlap, mouthy sounds can be heard all over our modest little home. There is no escaping the craziness of it, it's EVERYWHERE. Now realizing that they are "just boys" (wish I had a dime for everytime I've heard that one) I know, I can't and won't silence this epidemic. However, I have recently instated an 8:00 pm "no more sound effects" rule. It has helped a little bit as now I can wash my face at night and tie up the loose ends of my day without the constant sounds of swishing spit mouths and growling motors coming from their beds as they "go to sleep". So if this has struck your home as it has mine, you might consider a sort of twist to the lights out rule, lets call it....Sounds OUT.
