When you think bullhorn, don't you think you should be able to talk through it and have your voice amplified?  Melissa and Doug dropped the ball on this one.  The bullhorn is a SIREN !  No voice amplifier, just a siren!  To think that savvy parents by M&D products because of the educational value, durability, and realism.  That's not realism and it's just plain annoying.  My poor son has to use his only outside, which is no fun in the winter when he wants to dress up, but we can't take it!  The rest of the costume is perfect as expected.  I left a message on M&D's voicemail about the problem and my concerns.  I did not receive a response.
