Shhhhh!

If you have ever lived in an apartment, you will appreciate this post. If you've never lived in an apartment, take it as a good description of the kind of trauma one can experience in communal living situations. I completely identify with Jejune's conditioned behavior. Because even after a year of not living in an apartment, I still catch myself freaking out for a just a moment when one of the twins goes stomping through the living room. Shhhhh! The neighbors!

It makes me feel so much better to know that I'm not the only person to internalize the neighbor-reflex. Though I imagine having toddlers would be good for that, too; kids, no matter how generally well-behaved, just make noises, you know?

Good laugh, thanks for sharing. We've ground the notion of needing to be quiet in the morning so as not to wake the tenants above/below us into Ash's routine so much that when we grind coffee he screams DADDY THATS TOO LOUD YOU"LL WAKE UP IAN!
