Topic for Jan. 24: What is the most beautiful sound in the whole world? Once you've told us that, give us the flip side, too: What is the sound you dislike the most?
Babies laughing with each other:
I love to watch the two or three toddlers who attend my local Friends Meeting (Quakers). They are able to watch the silence pretty attentively, but then begin echoing each other's comments and hooting back and forth at each other, until their mom or dad takes them down to the playroom. Here's some prime baby-watching video:

My least-liked sound: retching and throwing up.
Here, I'll reference Tosh.O, since he regularly features throw-up segments on his show on the Comedy Channel. However, most of those kids are so drunk that the agony and effort of a real throw-up scene aren't really seen. (I'm sure we all have our own examples of grownup throw-up . . . when's the last time you had the flu . . . or food poisoning? . . . or . . .
I love laughing babies!!!! And the sound of retching isn't fun from either humans or animals. My son and I were talking about this today and he started making retching noises. I told him to stop it or I'd throw up on him for real. Yeah... my trigger is that easy.
ReplyDeleteHere you are Annie. Yes, babies laughing is a fabulous sound. Now that you have pointed it out that retching sound is awful and unmistakable.
ReplyDeleteBabies are so entertaining! I always love watching Americas Funniest Videos with the baby segment. It is my favorite!
