Some of the best sounds in a home are those of a family getting settled for bed. From a bedroom you can hear a mother telling stories to her son as he is about to be tucked into bed, reading in such a way that the books seem to come alive (I hear roaring - is it about lions or something else?). From another bedroom comes joyous humming and singing and the occasional page turn as a daughter enjoys her books and reading to dolls. Sounds that make you glad to be a father and husband.
Sshh. Listen...
And now, the best sound of all for parents after a busy day of chatting, discussing, laughing, hollering, shouting, crying, yelling, whispering, singing, murmuring, humming, screaming, giggling, snorting, demanding, and chuckling:
Quiet.
