After a morning of shopping and semi-ok behavior, I told Cason he could pick out somewhere for us to eat lunch. He picked Taco Bueno. Of course. Like he ALWAYS does (seriously, I offer this kid Panera Bread, Applebees, pizza, but it's always Bueno).
I felt seriously sorry for the nice young man in scrubs eating next to us. My kids were covered in bean and cheese goodness. It was quite the nasty sight to behold.
When we got up to leave, Cason said he wanted to take his drink with him. So, fine, if you want to take it, you have to carry it out to the car yourself. For the love of all things holy, you would have thought I asked him to walk across hot coals. The kid threw a knock down drag out fit right there in the middle of Taco Stinkin Bueno. I told him I wasn't going to carry his drink and he could either carry it or throw it away. So he runs to the trash can and covers it with his body while screaming, "YOU NOT THROW MY DRINK AWAY!!!!!" over and over again while going into some kind of convulsing body throwing thing. Then he resorted to rolling on the floor (at Taco Bueno...ew) while kicking and screaming, "I WANT MY DRINK!! YOU NOT THROW MY DRINK AWAY!!!"
Please keep in mind that I told him he could keep his drink if he would carry it.
I gave in. I carried his drink out to the car. I was done. Really, really done. And I had a very tired Kendall with me, too. So we get out to the car, after the temper tantrum to end all temper tantrums, I put Cason in the car seat and I said, "Here is your drink."
He looked at me and said, "I don't want it."

It's moments like this when I want to throw the kid away!
(No I never would ACTUALLY throw my kid away, but I do fantasize about it sometimes.)
And that right there is why some animals eat their young.
Becky said just what I was thinking. If it wouldn't have meant cleaning up the car afterward I would have thought about pouring it on his head, but I guess that someone could say that would be child abuse.
Mommy needs a star in her crown for not dousing him.
Helen
did you accidentally dump it on him when he said he didn't want it?
I can always count on your blog to make me laugh while at work at 3am!!
Oh....we have one of "those kids" too!!! I would have been tempted to dump it on her too.
God Bless!! Maybe for your birthday your dear hubby will buy you "The Strong Willed Child". Wouldn't that be lovely.
Yikes! I would have thrown it away and walked to the door and proceed to walk out, he would have jumped up and completely forgotten about it, thinking you were going to leave without him. At least I hope!
Oh man. I never know what to do when those things happen. It's even worse when you have another kid with you. Thanks for finding humor in it and sharing- makes me feel better about mine.
Oh goodness... I might have had to walk away for a little moment to myself...
Thank goodness there is no Bueno in Oz... Maccas is our main 'treat' and we are 300km from the nearest one. Life is good!
