I asked her to come, and she screamed NOOOOOO with such vocals the whole restaurant stopped talking. I picked her up at this point and brought her to the table, but now she’s screaming and crying.
I’ve never been so embarrassed and at a complete loss. I still have no idea what caused this or anything. She has never done anything remotely close to this.
The server grabbed a basket of biscuits and put it in front of her and she stopped screaming long enough to politely ask him for black berry jam.
Got home yesterday afternoon and was relaxing on the back deck with the cat. The kid two doors down started throwing a tantrum, screaming “I don’t want to go outside!” (She was already outside.) This went on for a good 5 minutes until who I think was a nanny brought her back in. It was odd because both their kids are usually well behaved. I am pretty sure it was a nanny because the adult had a European accent.
Another couple whose house looked onto mine had a kid who would often throw tantrums in the morning. I used to think about what dealing with that most mornings would be like while enjoying my morning coffee. They moved maybe a year ago.
