The days are dragging by so slowly, and the nights feel ten times as long with all the sore throats, coughing, and noses that are impassible, causing their young owners to panic and use all their might to try and sniff in some air rather than just breathing through their mouths. As soon as they get better, though, I’m going to have them read this instructional post written by Daring Young Mom, about screaming, sympathy, and how the two are related. I think it’s a very important concept and not nearly enough kids understand it. She makes it clear, though: If you’re screeching like a psychobot whilst spewing grape juice all over my white carpet and chopping my computer to bits with Ginsu knives, I may be less tempted to comfort you and more tempted to trade you to the Girl Scouts for some cookies.

This method made for greater parental understanding of the banshee-esque wailing.
