OMG – Best temper tantrum story EVER!

Remember how I wrote a few days ago about my kid having a public temper tantrum and being mortified but it’s all good because it gets easier?  (Read here: It Gets Easier.)  OK, well one blogger, Cathy Brockman, shared her own temper tantrum story…

Here’s what she wrote:

My daughter was 4 and was going to an Assemblies of God church regularly. We were in Walmart and she wanted something at the check out.  I told her no and the tantrum began.  She laid on the floor wailing. I jerked her a up and whispered menacingly in her ear…’When we get home I am going to kill you.’  Of course I meant no such thing, but she stood up, threw her arms in the air, and commence praying for me loudly. ‘Lord please save my mom; she is going to kill me and that means she will go to hell. I’ll be ok. I’m a child I will be in heaven, but I want my mommy there with me; so can you forgive her before she does?’  I was mortified!

OMG I was literally CRYING after reading that.   Cathy just wrote a book.  Here’s the link if you want to check it out:  Luke’s Dragon

Thanks, Cathy, for making me laugh!
