1. Child picks up toy at gift shop. Dad says, "Put that back. You already have that at home." Child throws tantrum. Dad buys toy.
2. Mom gets out camera and pushes small child toward Mickey Mouse. Child says, "I don't want to go." Mom says brightly, "Oh, come on, it'll be great!" Child refuses. Mom continues to try to persuade, although in ever-testier voice. Child finally pleads, "But I don't want to!" Mom snaps, tersely, "Fine. Then don't." and takes child by hand and stomps off.
3. Child with Princess Hairdo starts to pull on hoodie sweatshirt. Mom says, "Don't do that. You'll mess up your hair."
It's the happiest place on Earth!
Next week at this time, I'll be there. Hopefully doing exactly none of the things you listed.
