30. That's probably true.

When I was down visiting with my one-year-old granddaughter last month, she had a tendency to let loose with the screams whenever mom or dad wasn't around. The guy in the apartment next door would scream "WHAT THE FUCK??" at the top of his lungs through the wall. (He probably would have been a hitter, except he's apparently a bitter old bachelor...good thing). I found that if I took her outside and walked around with her for a while, she'd quiet right down.

Some people just can't stand the sound of a baby yelling.
