Just say.....no??

In the wake of the 847th tantrum before lunch, here I am contemplating what sort of reaction bystanders would have, if I were to throw a tantrum every time I didn't get my way or just plain didn't like something.

Stuck in traffic?

I will bang my head on the steering wheel.  This is a two part success as it will also honk the horn while drawing attention to my obvious displeasure.

Coffee shop out of muffins?

Throw myself on the floor until I split my forehead open on a sharp corner.  Surely, after I am arrested in the ER for acting a sheer fool in a public place, there will be some sort of free pastry and stale coffee at the police station.

When my trainer at the gym asks for another set, I'll just shake my head and say "no, no" over and over and over again.

Ok, so obviously, I would never do any of the above, even when frustrated or insanely tired.  There is a difference between an 18 month old throwing a tantrum and an adult throwing one; granted, neither is cute but the former is expected and somewhat accepted.

I've heard that the tantrums and the colossal meltdowns won't get any easier as we enter the 2s and 3s so I am off to go pick the minds of the internet mommies on discipline, coping and what's the best DIY method for covering your whole home in foam.

Here's to hoping naptime lasts long enough to get some answers and finish the cup of coffee that I made two hours ago.

Or I'm totally going to go limp, arch my back and stage the biggest freakout known to man.

Watch out, little man.  You're about to have some competition.
