It's all in his head, or For Pete's sake please stop making that noise
A few days ago Martin started making this loud humming noise. Constantly. I tried tuning it out, I've asked him to quiet down, and have given him other things to try to say or sing. But really, I just can't take it anymore. I've been trying to think of how to describe it and this morning it hit me.
It's the first 5 seconds of "I Walk the Line" by Johnny Cash. You know, the "mmmm" humming part. It's kind of nice in the song, Johnny's voice resonates and it builds just to the point where you think "Okay, I'm ready for the song now, let's get it going". It's just long enough to build, but also knows when to stop. And this is the big difference between Martin and Johnny's version.
I imagine if Johnny's mom had heard him practicing that part when he was four, she would have told him to knock it off too. "J.R. Cash you knock that off. You've been making that sound for two whole days now and my ears need a break."
Martin: Testing the Limits, shown here experimenting with using things in inappropriate places - like an umbrella in a car and a finger in a nose.

Sounds a little like a mosquito buzzing your head! Try playing music all day long, it might change the tune in his head.

SOME good news for you is that Martin left his treasured umbrella in MY car, but unfortunately, I can't do anything about the finger. The humming? Could be worse...someone could have been singing "oo e oo ah ah ting tang walla walla bing bang and left that earwig behind.

We could put him in a room with my niece Katie. We listened to her sing the Little Mermaid music ahhhhahhhahh, ahhahhahh) for twenty hours in a car on the way to Texas. The only thing that stopped her from doing it on the way back is that she got chicken pox. Then I got to listen to her barfing. This is why we are just having our first child now!
