60-year-old grandmother tries to "retrain" 3-year-old grandson to speak with a lower voice behind mom's back: "That squeaky voice won't serve him well. Boys need to sound strong"

It isn't really wise to make assumptions about what a child is going to be like as an adult. People change so much as they move through life. Just because you were obsessed with soccer as a child doesn't mean that you will grow up to be a soccer player; you might not even make it to middle school with the same enthusiasm for sports. Similarly, a chill baby might turn out to be an emotional wreck as an adult, and the terrible toddler might grow up to be the most emotionally regulated person that you know. There's no way of telling how children will develop into adults, and of course, everything gets thrown for a loop when puberty hits.

In our story today, a meddling grandmother is convinced that her 3-year-old grandson's high-pitched voice will follow him into adulthood if she does nothing to stop it. If anyone in the audience has been around children, you'll know that they all kind of sound like that – especially when they're happy or excited. Scroll down to find out how mom reacted to grandma's "training."

Grandma is completely delusional. All kids sounds like that! Did she forget her grandson's voice will go through a major change in his pre-teens, too?

I need to understand what exactly she thinks a 3-year-old boy should sound like… Where is she hearing small children speak with a low register? I've worked with kids and they usually sound pretty squeaky – especially when they're excited! It's just about the vocal chords.
