Too bad they don't install volume knobs on children when they are born. I remember one such occasion, on the freeway with four of the little monsters and finally, I could take no more and pulled over and turned the car off. And we sat. No moving. I don't know if it was the shock of not moving or Mom not speaking, but the car became eerily silent. After about 10 minutes, I restarted the car and we continued on our merry way. To the strains of sounds of silence!
You know that is a great idea. I think I will be trying it. Car hornets now that we have two are becoming quite the fraught affairs.
