    It would be rude of Alice not to pitch a fit of appreciation for her fun play date!

    It would dishonor the host to skip the ritual tantrum.

    All transitions are hard for kids. Getting them to go somewhere is hard: “I don’t want to go there!” Then getting them to come home is equally hard: “I don’t wanna go home!”

    Adults just say “Thanks, I had a good time!” Although when it was time to come home from our trip to the Dominican Republic several of us did throw a tantrum for old times sake.

    I’ll bet Madeline has secretly built Tantrum Time into her estimate of when Petey and Alice will get home.

    Poor Petey, he looks so nervous and uncomfortable. I didn’t know Nara was that scary!

     

    Thanks go to you, Richard, for giving us something deserving of our thanks!!!

    Geez! Doesn’t ‘Mom’ want her daughter to display good manners?! It’s like NOT burping loudly (and possibly vomiting) in ancient Rome! Sheesh!
