Has this ever happened to someone? Not me but i feel like it’s happened to someone.

What’s with the blue armband?

Yeah “ dad “ we’re on the outside ‘-‘

Hey hey hey, sounds like Fat Albert… but outside voice doesn’t have to be so loud either!

Checkmate, Dad!

How did we get HERE?

My two have their inside and outside voices completely backwards. Inside always feels like the bonus strip. Anytime we’re outside, especially in a public place like a park or in Costco it usually goes like this:Kid “mumble mumble mumble.”Me “What?”Kid “mumble mumble mumble.”Me: “Speak up, I can’t hear you.”Kid: “I HAFTA GO POTTY!!!!”

I would tell kids that outdoors it was fine to YELL, but not to scream. Yelling meant words, Screaming was a sound that meant danger. I told them unless a bear was chasing them or a space alien, yell, don’t scream!

They usually complied.

I’m not even a parent (I’m an aunt) & when my cat meows loudly I tell her “Use your INSIDE voice!”

Reminds me of my great nephew. Always YELLING NO MATTER WHERE HE WAS. It really started to get on my nerves and I was on the brink of saying something, but then I realized how loud his Mom was… Yup, he’d learned it from her. Had to yell to be heard over her…

HA HA HA!
