My dad was a coach, and during basketball season, he was seldom seen without his whistle hanging around neck. He could get everyone’s attention quickly with one quick blast. I always liked to march around blowing his whistle, when I was a little girl. Eventually, I was only allowed to use his whistle outdoors after one unfortunate incident when I blasted a loud “tweet” in the house, and nearly scared my mom to death. It seemed like a good idea at the time...
