Noise

Why are children immune to noise? The younger they are, the less it seems to bother them. I don't get it. You would think it would be the opposite. As we age and get deaf, you would think we would welcome "the loud". I guess an audiologist would be able to explain it, but to me it is extremely contrary.

Yesterday, Joel and I took the kids and 3 of their friends to Let's Play. Let's Play is an indoor play facility that has an enormous jungle gym, laser tag, arcade, party rooms, and really crappy food. And it's loud. Very loud. Plus it was a Saturday, so it was packed with birthday parties.

The kids had a great time, of course. They ran themselves to exhaustion and consumed copious amounts of sugary foods. The BEST. DAY. EVER.
