You heard me. When you have a noisy kitten mewling at the top of her lungs, you don't have to yowl, "SHUT UP!" That would be like trying to put out a flaming bush by compressing it with a flaming tree. Not going to work. Most likely, that will result in a forest fire, which could have been avoided if you had just put out the bush with cold water or snow. In other words, give that kitten a cold shoulder! Well, okay, if you are dealing with an emotionally fragile kitten, a cold shoulder would be a little harsh. Just ignore her instead. Eventually, she will get a sore throat and be forced to stop or will get yelled at by someone who has authority over her, such as her mother, father, or owner.
So, what have we learned? If you said something along the lines of, "Give the noisy being next to you the silent treatment until they shut up," you are correct. If you said something along the lines of, "Pay attention to the poor adorable angel who is yearning for your attention so that she will not cry out for your attention," I have two things to say to you. 1- Read the post again, for you seem to have gained the OPPOSITE advice from it, and 2- you are redundant and need to go talk to your English teacher about proper grammar. Oh, and 3- if you follow your terribly misguided advice, you will find that you are just spoiling the young organism and they will keep annoying you because you react to them and therefore show signs of an entertaining playmate, which is probably the worst possible thing that could happen if you are like me.
Yes, all you parents out there, this might be a little harsh for A CERTAIN FIVE YEAR OLD CHILD, but if you were in my shoes and had the same thought patterns as I do, you would certainly follow this advice. Thank you for listening and hopefully paying attention. Now go read a good book and work on your redundant-ness!
