Temper Tantrums 101

I have recently been schooled in temper tantrums by the master (aka Jack).

And the following is how you perfect a tantrum:

1.Voice your disapproval by screaming and pouting. (Crocodile tears are a bonus!)
2. When that fails, throw your head back and your hands up in the air.
3. If you have something (like a book) in your hands, throw it directly at whoever told you no.
4. Proceed to hurl your body onto the ground for dramatic effect.
5. Writhe about, roll around, kick your legs while proceeding to fake cry.
6. If you notice no one is paying attention, move to a better location and start again.
7. Don't stop until you get what you want, a better option comes along, or you forget why you were throwing a fit to begin with.
8. Practice. Practice. Practice.
