My kid refused to go to bed unless he slept with a potato.

My kid has done this, not for this reason or outside, but the motionless flop “I AM UPSET AND THIS IS MY NON-VIOLENT PROTEST”

When my sons were toddlers, it was green. If they had to wear any other color than green, complete melt down. Both of them, at once, would scream and throw themselves to the ground. Horrifying.

My kid once started crying cause she wanted to watch Pocoyo on the computer…while she was watching Pocoyo on the TV 🤷

Oh, and there were photos. Oh, yes. You better believe there were photos.
Here's my child. We needed to go up the next aisle in the grocery store. She didn't want to. pic.twitter.com/pavnMxWP7P

I think this evidence pretty much confirms that the “dramatic flop” is the official go-to fighting style for every child under the age of eight. Also, I’m sure we can all agree that the parents who deal with this behavior on a regular basis deserve some sort of award — or, at the very least, a relaxing vacation.
Stay strong, parents. Stick together. And for the love of all that is holy, don’t make your kids wear gloves that match their coats.
