Burrell's tag is especially appropriate for this discussion.
You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I have whistling stuck in my head. Which is weird.
Toddler shrieks. Those can liquify your brain.

oh no Burrell - sorry! I was working on the assumption that there was actually no feeling of responsibility... totally impossible here -

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
There's a little shrieker in my neighborhood, but she's older than toddler -- I'd guess K or 1st grade. But still -- OMG the shrieking.

A shrieker lived in my co-op. Any desire to protect was usually overcome by the urge to kill once the shrieking started. She's nine now and the shrieker still shrieks.

A couple of stories struck me about the Republican debate last night.
There was Tommy Thompson:
Thompson was asked by the moderator: "If a private employer finds homosexuality immoral, should he be allowed to fire a gay worker?"The former Wisconsin governor answered: "I think that is left up to the individual business. I really sincerely believe that that is an issue that business people have got to make their own determination as to whether or not they should be." The moderator appeared a bit startled: "OK, so the answer is yes?" Thompson replied, "Yes."
In a telephone interview from O'Hare Airport, Thompson told "American Morning" that he "misinterpreted" the question and should have asked to have it repeated.
"That's never been my position," Thompson said, said adding that discrimination isn't acceptable.
What did he think the question actually was?

The shrieking is not unavoidable. I've a friend whose migraine triggers include sounds of that pitch. I have no idea how she did it, but her daughter never shrieked.

I remember thinking that baby crying was loud when I just had a baby. Then came toddlerhood and I realized just how wrong I was.

I think the slow ramp up in volume is a evolutionary survival tactic.
