Kids
Have I mentioned that I live across the street from an elementary school? I do. And I work from home. So kid-noise is the normal background sound of my workday. I remember when we bought the place, and Jason's parents (both teachers) were all waxing rhapsodic on the joyful sounds of children's voices. Right. The first day we spent here, I heard this little shrill voice lisping out at the top of its lungs, "you go to hell, you asshole". Then there are the little-girl screaming contests. Yoyoyoy.
Right now they're playing dodgeball or something, and chanting in unison "kick their butts, kick their butts".
P.S. Is "waxing rhapsodic" the opposite of "cracking foxy"?
