Adventures at the Inbred Carnival

Hmmm....I know all the words to Monty Python's "Sit On My Face." I can't sing worth a damn, but it probably doesn't matter with a song like that...

Or, wait, I know the perfect song. "Rats in My Room."

knowing me I would break out in "Sweet Transvestite" or "The Time Warp" complete with "moves"

[Mytical]

"One, two Freddy's coming for you."
"Three, Four better lock your door."
"Five, Six Crab your crucifix."
"Seven, Eight..gonna stay up late."
"Nine, Ten.." in best freddy voice "NEVER SLEEP AGAIN!"

Sadly kids these days probably wouldn't have a clue...dang only old people say that kind of stuff...

Sorry, but a full-grown person singing/screaming to shut a kid up is every bit as annoying as the kid screaming. Obscene songs are worse. I figure the kid is stuck with a stupid parent, or two stupid parents, and hasn't been taught better. An adult doesn't get that claim on my patience.

Seconded. How is another person screaming gonna make things better for the rest of the store? It's not like the second voice cancels out the first or so...

Mindless Self Indulgence and The Bloodhound Gang both have quite a collection of songs with oh-so-tasteful lyrics that would do the job quite well.

So, umm. Why do the bitches love you?

also, singing panty shot will probably just flat out get you arrested :P

God I hate it when people don't make their kids shut up. I've been stuck on the train with kids who shriek periodically at ear drum splitting level...which also startles the shit outta me and makes it so I'm on my last nerve. And that nerve is shattered.

As a mom with 3 kids I can tell you it is a phase and it is just as annoying to us. No amount of please stop, stop it, hush, be quiet, do you want a time out,SHUT UP NOW YOU ARE DRIVING MOMMY CRAZY!!!!! will stop it. And the last phrase is just as annoying to hear as the screeching is to another person. Just ask my husband lol. We finally figured out by the 3rd one going through the phase at about the same age as the other two did that ignoring it gets the best results. Because look at it from the kids point of view. You like the screeching of your voice. It is oh so nice and loud and screechy! Wow, if I do it enough mommy joins in too and the more I do it the more she does it, yay Ignoring it is best but in public talking quietly to the child about it is at least showing you hate it too and are putting forth and effort to stop it. My last one is finally over that stage and people would look at me like a horrible parent for ignoring it and letting him screech but honestly there is nothing you can do. My kids all did this at around 18 months to 2 years, now if the kid is about 5 or something then yeah, they need to be smacked, lol.

Thankyou! went thru the same with mine. And much as I'd love to never expose that to the public, sometimes you gotta...

Thank Irv, he started it and I stole it from him.

Hehe, I'd tell them outright at the top of my lungs "shut him up or leave but grow up and be a mother". Yes, I actually would. Its just a good thing I haven't had occasion to. I think I'd end up banned from whatever place I'm in.
