Snippet: Temper Tantrum is Aisle 5

Temper Tantrum Aisle Five
McRaider
Summary: Jack glanced around to see if anyone else had yet noted his supremely crappy parenting skills before he hauled his son up by the arm and straightened the screaming child slightly-it was moments like this where parents sank or swam.

oh lord, i'm having flashbacks to taking my 5 y.o. nephew to the store... my answer was to cry back at him and throw him over my shoulder. my partner thought it was the funniest thing he'd ever seen.

the quote-- it's Hook, isn't it? same nephew's favorite movie. can't remember how many times we had to watch that flippin' thing that summer.

Hehe like I said I'm sure this is something I would do to my kid! Nope, at least not intentionally, the context behind Jack saying it, as well as the actual words are specific to something/someone. Nice try though.

I did that with a friend's son at Big Lots. The cashier's thought it was a riot.

Hehe! I don't have much patience with anyone, let alone kids.
