I love it.
Some of my kids love it because they were able to come in promptly at dinnertime because they heard the first call.
Drew is scared of it.
Megan is mortified that her mother is going to become known around the neighborhood as the 'Megaphone Mom.'
And Mike, well I think his thoughts regarding it most closely relate to Megan's.
A couple of months ago our neighbors told me that sometimes if their television is turned off and their house is quiet they can hear me yell, "LUUUUKE, COME HOME." (Which incidentally, Luke is the most obedient child to come running home the very first time he hears his name being called.)
I'm hoping my new gift will help me not have to yell quite so loudly that the neighbors will hear. But on the other hand, they will probably hear me loud and clear no matter the noise level in their own house.
Perhaps not exactly a win-win situation.
But least my children will be on time for dinner.
You're right. This is perhaps the most thoughtful and wonderful present anyone could receive. Who wants to strain their voice anyway? Sounds like James and Kristin are doing well and having another girl I hear! How exciting!!
ReplyDeleteThat is AWESOME! I want one, not for calling for my children but to take on races. Oh boy I am excited to hear the stories this will bring.
ReplyDeleteLove it. I always wanted to be able to whistle like Carlyn. Her kids always knew when she whistled it was time to bust it home. Have fun. I'll let you know if I hear you over here.
