screaming baby

[MaryN]

O.K. the parents of the screaming baby are obviously going to know that it is a problem. They may be new parents and clueless or they may be unable to quiet their child for whatever reason. I'm assuming there is no way to contact them without actually marching up to the house and asking if they need help. A quick look outside will probably tell you if there are any dangers lurking in the road - you might like to risk running over to see if you can help; perhaps someone can stand guard for you. Otherwise the only thing to do is wait it out. Sometimes there are no easy solutions.

I'm told that a dummy full of gin helps.
