Below is a selection of things my two-year-old son got mad about over the weekend. This is a non-exhaustive list.
- I only let him watch Wheels on the Bus 12 times, not 13.
- I made him watch Wheels on the Bus on the TV instead of my phone.
- The kid on Wheels on the Bus was wearing a hat.
- He wanted to wear a hat.
- But not any of the hats we have.
- He wanted his baby sister to wear a hat.
- But not any of the hats she has.
- I wouldn’t let him sit on the baby.
- I held the baby.
- I fed the baby.
- I pushed him too fast on his toy car.
- I pushed him too slow on his toy car.
- The macaroni and cheese I made was too hot.
- Ten seconds later, the macaroni and cheese was too cold.
- I didn’t cook his apple.
- I wouldn’t buy laxatives for him at the drugstore.
- I let him sit down in the middle of the drugstore aisle for one minute instead of all day.
- I poured milk out of the wrong carton into the wrong cup.
- I talked to his dad on the phone.
- I asked him to wear a shirt.
- I wouldn’t let him bring all his wet bath toys into his crib.
- Then I gave in and let him bring his bath toys into his crib but didn’t arrange them on the blanket correctly (the cow is supposed to be next to the starfish, if you’re wondering).
- I washed his blanket.
- His stuffed animal was dirty.
- I washed his stuffed animal.
