THE REAL BUZZ LIGHTYEAR, are you kidding me! Nathan had to have it! Its big, it shots lasers, his helmet does that whoosh thing...Nathan fell in LOVE!It was more than I had wanted to spend and its kind of a nice toy to get for NO REASON what so ever..but it was pretty cool so I was thinking about it...that is where everything became unravelled..
I grabbed the box away from Nathan and HE FREAKED OUT! He was screaming, kicking things, hitting, he grabbed the box away from me and went and hid around the corner...screaming all the way...In my whole parenting career I have NEVER dealt with a bigger temper tantrum..I was shocked..WHAT?? My sweet little Nathan??? Yes, believe it or not...
I tried to rationalize with him and explain that I just wanted to look at the Buzz..but he was past the point of being rational!! I had no choice... I grabbed him around the waist and walked out of the store...he was kicking and screaming the WHOLE way home! I have to say that I was pretty proud of myself for not taking the easy way out and buying him the toy..hopefully he learned his lesson! Oh, the joys of parenting!

Oof. Isn't it stinky when you want to do something nice for them but you can't because they are acting so ungrateful. That's the way Heavenly Father probably feels about me sometimes. Jeez! If I'd just straighten up he could bless me already!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who has had to drag a screaming child out of a store! Last time it happened, it was because of one of those dang Buzz Lightyear cell phones they put in the checkout aisles at Walmart!
