1 b 00 well, If u talk particularly about this sentence, the usage of scream in place of yell apparently sounds fine. But literally speaking, the word scream denotes a high-pitched noise resembling a human cry; and the word 'yell means to cry out loudly, as in pain, fright, surprise, or enthusiasm. So, the word 'yell' justifies the meaning in a better way since the father is expressing joy.
