Childcare for Idiots, Thursday

No very special guests in class this week it would appear. Because Deadpool was too awesome to need another team up.

"Today we're gonna talk about something that happens with all kids," Deadpool said, arms crossed over his chest like this was totally serious business. "Unless they're overly precocious little monsters that are biding their time, lulling you into a false sense of security before they stab you to death while you sleep."

Wasn't he just cheery?

"I'm talking, of course, about temper tantrums."

Clearly!

"They can happen for any number of reasons," he continued. "They're sleepy, they're bored, they feel like pushing boundaries today, or just because they wanna. Children are insidious and less predictable than me. And that's sayin' something."

Luckily Jan was busy pretending to read a book about gay, gay penguins and had nothing to contribute to this class as an example. Or maybe she was biding her time. God help us all.

"So, how do you respond?" Deadpool asked. "Not like a bitch ass parents on those stupid Nanny 911 shows, that's for sure. God, I hate them with every fiber of my being. So, I wanna hear what you think should be done when dealing with a tantrum. Get into groups of two and discuss. Just remember that logic and reason ate useless with kids. Useless, I say!"

Seifer would have nightmares about Selphie and Zell's nightmares. If he could remember them.

It was fairly safe to say that Jim had never dealt with a temper tantrum in his life.

... With the possible exception of his own, but those totally didn't count.

Still, he was willing to toss around ideas. That had to mean something, he figured, as he looked around for a partner.

"What can't you just give them what they want?" asked the youngest of six.

"It would quiet them down pretty quick, right?" agreed the only child. "My mom used to give in pretty easily when I wanted something, anyhow. I just had to bust out the sad little kid eyes."

They held power.

"But if I was ever having an actual tantrum, she'd say no, on the grounds that if she gave in for one screaming fit, I'd start to figure that was the right way to go about getting anything that I wanted."

Breaking the law worked so much better, anyhow!

Apologies for Karla missing class today! She is watching a vampire talk a walk in the sunlight!

...Okay, less a 'walk' than a 'step.'

"I'm a big fan of the time out," Jack said leaning back in his chair. "You can try to reason with them but if they've totally gone off the deep end then it's a time out for them followed by reduction of privileges."

Yeah, Jack. We all know how well that worked out with Zoe.

"Well, perhaps," Rilla said. "I never really kicked my heels and yelled over things."

She just dropped cakes into brooks.

"I wasn't too bad when I was little," Jim replied, grinning. "But I think maybe my mom was always a bit of a pushover. I can barely remember all of the pets that I got away with bringing home over the years."

Most of which had tentacles and extra eyes, and so on.

"Yeah, but then they'll just be like 'fine, then I don't have to see your stupid face,' and then run away."

Or maybe that was just Sam.
