What Is Happening

Temper tantrum Wah! Wah! Wah! Kicking shelves. Bam. Bam. Bam. Out of control child has snapped. Tired of trying to figure out where the limit line is. Is this fair? Not really. Customers watch him get handed a reward. Shocked that it is happening. Wanting to say something. Not daring to. The community is not in control anymore And people get angry much more easily now. Wah! Wah! Wah! Bam! Bam! Bam! It is not the expensive toy that he wanted. He wants the one not in his age bracket. The two hundred dollar Air Force 1 plane. He insists. And Mommy hands it to him. What is happening here? Who is in charge? Who is in control? He is three. Is it fair? Maybe. If you want him to grow up To be a giant baby Who always bullies people And gets his own way. Maybe presidential material?

I agree, tantrums should not be rewarded, but I guess it's different when you call it 'passion' instead of 'throwing a fit!'
