I have always heartily agreed with Zorro's stance on loud noises. I'm okay with the T-word (< whisper > thunderstorms < /whisper >) because I can see it coming. But other than that, loud noises--cars backfiring, fireworks, steamer boat whistles, trains, et cetera--SUCK.

Let him know there's always plenty of room under the bed! Hm. Maybe we should organize. Maybe the Brotherhood of Under the Bed.
