My first tantrum

Its old news that I know how to stand and I already spoke about my favorite game. So this afternoon, after a good nap, I wanted to indulge in a bit of coaster throwing. Dad set up the table for me and I was happily playing away ( Level 2 now with 2 coasters instead of just one).

For some reason, Mom wanted to hug me and kiss me (They are such a sentimental lot). She picked me up and sat me in her lap - right in the middle of one of my best moves. So I decided to employ a trick I learnt from my nursery colleagues. It involves wailing out loud to let people know that you are displeased. Obviously, they would panic and put you back to what you were doing. In this case, my parents did so, but they were not too happy about it.

Parents have a funny name for it as well.. they call it a tantrum. Anyway, that was my first. I think you need to employ this trick judiciously. Why throw tantrum when you get most things by just asking for it ? And I certainly dont want to be the boy who cried wolf
