FLASH BACK to a simpler time

[FishermanTim]

My mom was the original "holler-back" girl.
With her trill Irish voice, you could hear her calling from 1/4 mile away.
Oh, and with 9 kids you didn't have to wait to hear YOUR name, you just knew the natural progression: "Susan, Paul, Michael, Timmy, Joey, Johnny, Bobby, Mary and Theresa...Supper Time!!!"

Everyone within a 2 block radius knew who we were and when it was time to go home.

My father has a loud unique whistle and claiming not to hear it was not an acceptable excuse for my brothers and me. I'm 55 now and my family thinks it's hilarious that he will still whistle if we're some considerable distance apart, and instinctively I'll hone in on what direction it came from.
