If yelling can cause air molecules to vibrate faster, thereby making the air warmer, I think Sophia’s screaming every night for the last few weeks is to blame for the record temperatures in the Seattle area. All right fine, the math doesn’t support that theory.
I hear the Earth is getting closer to the sun.

The math may not support the theory, but the timing is quite a coincidence. *suspicious* Sophia, you need to stop screaming so mommy can cool off.
(Erica, have you considered getting a small window AC for her room to see if that helps? Maybe it is her heat intolerance.)

This is great….her screaming is causing our drought then too….well, I guess not, but I do like your thinking and your idea of math! [I read about the heat in Seattle]
My 55 is now posted. It’s not fiction per sé but it’s done. Come by if you get a chance. Happy Friday.

If yelling caused global warming ,we’d have to blame my son. He’s been at it for 14 years. And now a days he’s got quite the set of lungs on him.

Alice Audrey – Maybe the guineas book of records should be consulted to see who has screamed the longest. LOL

If your child is heating up that little bit of space then we know that Hell Fire and brimstone preachers are responsible for Global Warming.

It’s cold and rainy in New York City. It’s hotter than hell in Seattle. Seems like Bizarro World to me.

I think Chloe’s non-stop almost a two year old crying temper tantrums are causing all of the rain in Philly.
