I ws going to say sometihng similar, but I was afraid I'd be labeled a "child
obedience trainer" ! <G>

My boys and my dogs hear my "NO!" and all stop in their tracks and SIT.

So would YOU!

My mother uses the "no, no, no!" ---POODLE VOICE, singing. Why would ANYone
know what she means???

I imagined Glinda, the Good Witch of the North saying, "no, no, no! Toto
too!" in her odd vibrato 30's-movie voice.

THAT'S IT! Why would anyone---child, adult, dog think she was serious?

Although I was an RN working with an LPN in the NBN and when she had a
critical newborn her voice would get real quiet. She would come up and say
"Pam, I need you to look at something" and I knew she meant business and it
was serious. I think it was the change in her voice and not the pitch or
volume that made me take notice.
