my grandson, son and I were in a shoestore. The grandson was 2 and a half.
Hank Williams Jr. (I learned later but at first was clueless about who it was making noise) was on the store's intercom.
Suddenly the little one tugged on his Dad's sleeve and said: "Daddy, turn off that music. Is really sucks."

Suddenly, still a little later, he was on HIS BACK, on the floor, curled in a fetal hug:"Daddy, call an ambulance, I told you this music was making me sick."
It's one of my favorite grandson tales.
