Cut the Pipes!

I find it incredible the screaming capacity of an eight-year-old boy's lungs. My little brother, though eight years old, still resorts to primal instinct and opens his gaping mouth to scream and cry every time he doesn't get exactly what he wants. Too bad we can't all be Harry Potter and use a silencing charm. That would be quite humorous. But seeing as my magic powers are currently out of service, I think I have a permanent headache.
