Ten thoughts during a tantrum and one after

1.  Why is he screaming this time?

2.  I am never offering to go downstairs to get his water bottle again.  Even though I have no idea why that caused a meltdown today and not any of the hundred previous times I did it.

3.  This is ridiculous.

4.  Don’t laugh, even if he does look like Rumpelstiltskin right now.

5.  Remain calm and eventually he will stop screaming.

6.  Why must he wake up his brother?

7.  Do not scream back.  You are the adult.  Say it three times: “I’m the adult, I’m the adult, I’m the adult.”

8.  How can there still be four hours until bedtime?

9.  Eventually you’d regret selling him on eBay.  Probably.

10.    Someday he will be a reasonable human being.  But when?  WHEN?

11.     Sigh.  Where did I hide that chocolate again?

    AWESOME. Especially: “You’re the adult.”
