actually i've heard of the mosquito noise and believe me, patricia, i would love to do that. the problem is, these children actually live here. they are all very young (i would say all under 10 and most under 4) and their irresponsible, inconsiderate, unworthy parents shunt them out to play all day long in the (tiny, reverberating, just underneath my windows...) inside courtyard. their favorite game is "who can produce the loudest, shrillest, noise, and for the longest time without interruption ?" when they are not actively competing they are in intensive training, or else they are having temper tantrums (their day can be split up into these three activities in proportions of roughly 30% 30% and 30%, with the remaining 10% being allocated to breaking things or strewing the contents of the trashcan around the place). so i believe the only viable solution is really to ship them all to a desert island somewhere. or at least to the suburbs. or the countryside, which is severely underpopulated so they wouldn't be bothering anyone.

thus my campaign. perhaps i should modify my slogan slightly to "you kids get out of my (court)yard !!"
I've heard that ground, pureed child makes a good cat food.
Just a thought.
