To wish my neighbour's child would stop impersonating an ambulance?

[TheCatOfAthenry]

Neighbour is lovely. Her DS (age 4) is adorable, funny and is always doing bits and impressions.

The difficulty lies here. He does a particularly convincing impersonation of an ambulance. Firstly, it's ear-piercing and glass-shattering. Secondly, he does it frequently. Thirdly, it sets neighbourhood dogs off and they take ages to settle.

I can't exactly pop round and ask his mum to tell him to stop pretending to be an ambulance, can I? I'll look a bit unhinged.

Sorry but 😂😂😂😂 I used to impersonate a pedestrian crossing when I was little, the neighbors must have hated me!

SirWibbles that's genuinely hilarious- and probably original too!

Say something - our old neighbours' child (we moved!!!) kept it up for 7 years - we were there for 2 of them.

I hope you are not posting about us. DS does a very good ambulance noise, often in the garden on his scooter and it makes next door's dog bark. But he is only 3 and he doesn't do it all the time. I blame DH - who taught him.

@LuluJakey1 definitely not you! I know the family, he's definitely 4 and there are many disturbed dogs rather than one!

Does he just shout nee naw or is it more realistic?

It's like a real ambulance - I've been fooled once or twice.

Oh god that sounds annoying.

This reminded me of what happened when I used to live at home with my DM and DDad,back in the late 1970s. The NDN's had a minor bird,which was kept in an aviary in their conservatory. This bird was a very good mimic,and in the summer when they had the windows open,we could hear it shouting our cat's name,in a voice uncannily like my DM's!
