Ever have a day when your child is doing their best Linda Blair impression?
Not the spewing of green vomit like my husband thought, but the full-on demon possession complete with change in personality and kicking/screaming fits?? I'm not talking about simple little tantrums. I'm talking about red-faced breath holding until the scream of a thousand ring wraiths hits your ears and possibly deafens you.
No, I wasn't about to link up the Exorcist clips here. That movie freaks me the hell out. I should make a video of Gaga one day and compare to the above. Sigh.
It always seems like children have the uncanny ability to act their worst when you are busy preparing for visitors / getting ready for work / inviting the President over for dinner / defusing a bomb because Bruce Willis was busy that day...Maybe it's because we're not paying the same amount of attention to them or maybe they can sense your anxiety and get stressed out themselves. I try my best to be calm because I don't want her to have a bad day either, but sometimes enough is enough!
Mmm...M&M's...now I'm better.
The only way this post would be better was if... you DID actually video tape the meltdown. So maybe next time you could sneak a handheld video cam in-between some stuffed animals in her room during said meltdown?
