LOL.

That was indeed funny, but a tip for parents: if your brat ever does start doing something like that, don't get angry, don't raise your voice, don't yell, don't bargain, don't explain, JUST START WALKING AWAY.

 I'm DEAD serious on that. I have no children myself, but I vividly remember my mother doing that to me and I've done it to my nieces and nephews. It sends the message, in no uncertain terms, that such behavior won't get them what they want and let's them know who is in charge. I gaurantee you, they will quit crying, and follow you.

I'm not saying abandon the kid, or leave them unattended, I'm saying walk away and put it into the child's head how little what they are doing matters.

It works. Though, if your kid was anything like me, you'll start getting arguments as to why they deserve that game or candy. It's still much prefferable to temper tantrums.
