As I was heading home from a much needed Starbucks run this afternoon, I heard a toddler screaming at the top of its lungs and it set my hair on end! I thought to myself, "that just might be the worst sound EVER!" I congratulate any parent who doesn't punch a child when they make that sound. I guess it's a good thing kids are cute otherwise they wouldn't live through puberty. :-) As a result of that thought though, I decided to list the top 5 best and worst sounds for me. I'm sure people will completely disagree with my list but here goes:
Best 5 Sounds in the World:
- Certain types of music (I would blanketly say all music but I can't stand the sound of rap, hip hop, and heavy metal)
- Non-American Accents - especially British, Australian, Irish, Italian, and French (in that order).
- A thunderstorm/rainstorm
- A baby laughing/giggling
- The sound of the ocean
Worst 5 Sounds in the World:
- A baby/toddler screaming/crying
- Someone throwing up
- Any scraping sound
- Glass breaking
- A really high pitched dog bark
I can just imagine: sitting on the porch near the ocean during a rainstorm, listening to my favorite music while chatting with Kenneth Branagh or Hugh Jackman. Whew! We're talking heaven on earth!
Of course, a baby crying at a high pitched dog bark while a glass breaks might cause my ears to bleed and head to explode!
