I am Stella, Queen of the Olde English Bulldogges. Doodlebug! Quiet down!
Me: I second that motion!
Doodlebug: WHAT‘S THE MATTER?
Me: You are talking too loud.
Doodlebug: HOW LOUD IS TOO LOUD?
Stella: About like that right there.
Me: If you need something, use your indoor voice. I can hear you just fine.
Doodlebug: YOU MEAN…
Me: Lower…
Doodlebug: LIKE…
Stella: Quieter…
Doodlebug: Like this…whisper…whisper…whisper…
Stella: Quieter…
Doodlebug: If I get quieter, you won’t hear me at all.
Stella: Yes, exactly! Do that!
