Hmmm... My parents had a neighbor that would blow up balloons and give them to his kids and pop them with a pin while they were holding them half the time to teach then that life sucks and to be tough.

I will not comply. I will not lie down. I will not go quietly. I will not submit. I will not roll over. I will not shut up.

Anyhow, as the two were born and grew, they got used to my booming voice and really don't respond to it like other kids do. I can wake the dead two counties over and they will hardly notice. Other kids will jump to attention and say "YES SIR!" but my boys think it is just another day with Dad. Other parents marvel at this fact. I have inadvertently made kids cry just when I say hello because of my voice.
On the other hand I have conditioned the boys since they were very young to respond to a singly sharp whistle and their heads snap around. It annoys them somewhat, they have had to explain it to friends sometimes. But if we are across a convention center from each other and I whistle, they immediately know where I am and look at me to see what I want.
Comes in very handy. I recommend it as a tool for all parents!

I have never been able to whistle....

I have a way of getting my kid's attention in a crowd, too. My daughter's nick name is Lou and I have a high pitched, sharp, quick LOU call. She can hear it far away and she wears hearing aids. LOL

If I were to bark out my kid's names in a forest, trees would fall for a mile. To make things worse I have a serious hearing deficiency so I can't really hear how loud I am. When I was in high school I worked at McDonalds (shortest job I ever had. Lasted two weeks. I got another job after the first day and gave two weeks notice the next day), this was back whe you had to shout the orders back to the grill. The gal who was training me for a front counter position stood directly behind me to supervise and periodically she wasn't paying attention and would get the full blast right in her face. She would react as though I had hit her. When she was paying attention she would duck and cover her ears. No lie.

You're right. That is downright mean.

I learned when I was 40, oddly enough. I love to whistle now and whistle quite a bit. But I'm not very good at it. Keep practicing.

And Vikingdad, I've been told I'm loud, too. People point out I have good "projection". And I'm not very good at whispering.
