Yes, we are insane.

Sal and I were sitting around the house the other day, and we agreed that it's just too darn quiet. The kids just don't make enough noise for us. So we decided that we should get Michael some electronic drumsticks for his birthday. The kind that not only make a noise when you tap them, but also have cymbal buttons, and can provide background melodies for the drummer to tap along to. Ah, the pitter patter of electronic drumsticks, acccompanied by the screaching of a jealous two-year old who wants his turn NOW. It's like music to our ears.
