Been there, used to live across from a playground, made the same remark except that someone would inevitably reply “but how do you know what it sounds like when a child is murdered?” so I stopped saying it.
That’s absolutely true of my neighborhood too! You’d think they were getting brutally eviscerated or something. It’s really disturbing, ‘cuz *I* never screamed like that when I was a kid.
Also, sometimes they squeal like pigs.
Ha! Love the zombie kid… XD
My mom had a policy that screaming was only for if you were in trouble. If you screamed and it turned out you weren’t in trouble, well, now you were!

Remember those cranky old guys who would yell at you to get off their lawn?
This is why. They didn’t care about their grass. They didn’t want someone’s children screaming like banshees right outside their house all day.
As a non-parent, I endorse the zombiefication.
Hm, another zombie. I’m really going to have to catch back up on the zombie tracker one of these days.
So…the naked child puts on a swimming suit before getting wet?
