The Neighbors Are Sleeping
No one wants to wake up to yelling, screaming, and other irritating loud noises. That does not make for a peaceful morning. If you ever got a little too rambunctious in the AM, your mother probably shushed you with the classic line, “Do you want to wake up the whole neighborhood?” We know ours did.
History repeated itself when this author found herself saying that very same line to a kid she was babysitting. Any adult will agree that 8 a.m. is way too early to be screaming your head off. As a teenager, you usually don’t find yourself copying your parents, but in this case, the apple didn’t fall far from the tree.
