They have a real knack for cackling.
It's probably some innate skill they're born with and we just don't nurture it as non-witch humans. Kids cackle just about as well as they produce ear-piercing cries when they injure themselves slightly or severely.

We had a little chat about witches and some of their distinguishing characteristics...you know, terrible eyesight, warts, beady eyes, brooms, generally horrible dispositions, cackling...
We practiced cackling (which the kids nailed, naturally), then made some witches--
I got inspiration from this activity on Pinterest here, but I think the kids totally made it their own...
Completely cackle-worthy. Pinterest-worthy, too.
