Update on horrible T-shirts.

[stevieannie]

Whilst at the Lincolnshire Show last week, I saw absolutely the most horrible example of the children's t-shirts that I object to:

"Saw it. Wanted it. Threw a tantrum. Got it."

I can't say how cross that makes me. I've spent the last 10 years trying to teach that throwing tantrums results in sitting down until you're quiet and not getting the thing that you're after. I had kind of hoped that I wasn't the only one.

Judging by the sales and delighted exclamations of parents holding it up to other parents, I think I may be one of the few who don't see tantrums as cute or funny.

*sigh*

No element of 'oh ghods yes, I recognise that' there, you think?

And, you know, that shirt should so have been available in adult sizes too.

Not in Annie's kids. If she says no then throwing a tantrum is the last thing that will get her kids what they want. Cunning negotiation skills are more likely to gain the required result.
