I am convinced my kids think that bloodcurdling screams are the most effective way to deal with things such as:
1. My sister is standing on the stool and I wanted to stand on the stool!
2. American Girl dolls DO NOT belong in my bed!
3. My brother put his hands near me.
4. I HATE books.
5. Milk! Milk! Milk!
Each incident expressed in a volume so incredibly loud and intense that I have had to start saying things like "use your inside screaming voice, not the one that makes the neighbors contemplate dialing 911."
I am pretty sure they aren't getting the message.
Must be a DePeter thing. Mine do it too, but I'm going to tell myself it's an inherited gene from your side of the family.
