Louder is not always better

Poor Chance. His baby brother has undertaken a new hobby this past week. He talks at about 80 decibels each time he says anything.
Our dinner time goes something like this:
"I WANT SOME CORN!" From Chances brother.
"Ok, can you say it quieter?" From one of us.
"MINE IS THE GREEN CUP!" From Chance's brother.
"I can not hear you!" Chance laments to the person who is talking to him at the table.

Chance's brother seems to feel the need to be heard. He obviously has decided that by being loud, we will hear him better. It would be nice to have some kind of volume control at times. We are working with him to help him tone down his voice, but in the mean time, Chance is heard to express,
"I can not hear! It is too loud!!"
Luckily, Chance is really attached to his younger brother and they are great buddies. This should help them overcome this little inconvenience that the loud volume creates.

Hopefully, this is a short lived problem. I feel for Chance. Good heavens, the rest of us can't hear either when his brother is talking so loud. It must be extra frustrating for Chance though.
