Remember that? Well it's not screwed in it's sort of just plugged in. And remember, and I commented the other day that I didn't understand why people would say, oh there's a lag I had to listen to you bang ten times. Oh there's a lag in hearing this and that's why you have to say woohoo woohoo woohoo woohoo woohoo. But I made the point quite accurately that when I go shh the person stops talking instantly. Trust me the lag nonsense is nonsense. Okay however one of you a very bright person who took anthropology classes in the 80s has the answer and when I read it to you you're going to be amazed. I was amazed at how sort of gently obvious it is. So here it goes. Good morning Dr. Laura. I wanted to share with you something I learned way back in an anthropology course in the 80s. Okay this is like almost 50 years ago 40 something years ago. Shh is primal and universal. Mothers in the deepest darkest tribes in Papua New Guinea use shh to quiet their babies just as we do here in the West. It's often repeated shh shh shh and rhythmic. It's thought that the sound quiets babies because it mimics the sound of blood rushing through the abdominal aorta when they're in utero. And I'm sitting here reading this going damn that is so accurate. Shh shh shh. The pumping of the blood that's what the babies hearing and it's calming. I know that's true because I was very very very pregnant and dumb enough to go see Mad Max. My husband at that time he was alive. I don't know how else to say that. It's been so long I'm relaxed about it now. Said we got it Mad Max got good reviews we should go see Mad Max. Okay I had to leave because the baby in utero was not hearing. But was hearing bang slam. And he started flipping around and I thought he was just going to like alien leap out of my body. So I left the theater. I said you know they know what's going on they hear it they feel it. I have a reaction to it therefore the hormones change the blood pressure. Not good to see a movie like that. No. But this is so good. Mimics the sound of blood rushing through the abdominal aorta in utero. Also you frequently mention mother birds not bringing their babies back to the nest. Eagles go one step further. They build their nests with the sticks pointing inwards and then feather the nest. As the eagles grow and get heavier the sticks poke them more and more. I am so loving this. If you guys have more stories about all of this kind of stuff please send them to me. I love science. Okay. Especially when it pertains to what I do with here. The sticks pointing inwards as the eagles grow and get heavier the sticks poke them more and more. The wisdom an eagle has that most human mothers don't have. Make home uncomfortable when they're 18. Okay. This encourages the chicks to leave the nest when appropriate. I thought you'd find that interesting. I always enjoy your program. Thank you Tina M. Well Tina M send more stuff like this. This is fascinating and I can use this. A year from now some mother who was oh but you know I just I feel they I have to take care you know they're not ready. Okay. Let me tell you about eagles. They build a nest. They put pokey things in there and then feathers. Now when the eagle has come out of the eggs they don't weigh anything. So they just rest on top of the feathers and then mommy and daddy eagles feed them so they get fatter bigger heavier and then the pokey stuff hurts and it's all timed by nature somehow which is amazing. That's what's wrong. Human beings don't have enough instinct. That's a problem. The birds run on instinct. They know how many pokey things. How many feathers. How thick the feathers should be. So at just the right time when the eagle is yes can fly. They're the hell out of there because it hurts. It's uncomfortable. You should do that for your errant child. Who is 34. I'm gonna love telling that story. And now I don't think I'm gonna I'm ready to retire. Woohoo. I don't think I'm ready to retire. It's been way too much fun. But from time to time I'll just do because it gets instant instant reaction. Thank you Tina. You've so made my morning. Okay. Let's get to you. My number. 1 800 3 7 5 28 72.
