When you're just a little bugger, almost everything can feel like the end of the world. I mean, just check out these 100 Ridiculous Reasons Why Kids Cry.
Temper tantrums range from whining and crying to screaming, kicking, hitting, and even breath-holding. They're equally common in boys and girls and usually happen between the ages of 1 to 3.
Bess Kalb, who is an American Emmy Award-nominated writer for the Jimmy Kimmel Live! television show and journalist with The New Yorker magazine, has a child who falls right into that category and wouldn't you know it, he also tends to overdramatize things.
Recently, Kalb turned to Twitter to share her 2-year-old son's devastation upon realizing his granola bar wrapper was pulled too low for his finer sensibilities. After the writer asked for prayers, other parents chimed in with the meltdowns and mayhem they have also experienced. Here are some of the most memorable ones.

😂😂😂😂 I've seen mayhem like this play out at the playground with my kids before. I was one of the onlookers hysterically laughing while making periodic sympathetic eye contact with the parents. I woke the hubby up laughing at this one.
My 3 y.o kid went to day care for a week with red nails in a spider man custom because he like it that way.
My son was convinced that he gonna turn white soon because I smart ass kind of kid told him so. And show him that the process already started on his hands. Since he thinks my name is mama and I'm 100 years old, I didn't turn white until now. Smart ass Kid answered that it takes time.
This is a semi-serious question. I remember that as a kid, I ate hotdogs with ketchup. Suddenly one day I was using mustard, and the thought of using ketchup was disgusting. I now wonder how many other people did that?
My brother would get mad if someone sat on "his" side of the car...even at the age of 52 years old.
So what I'm getting from this is always dress your kids in overalls.
I still HATE wrinkles in my socks. I remove my shoes, if necessary, just to straighten the sock. Yes, I'm also 30 yrs old.
I, very greedily, ate a container full of crickets my dad was using a bait while fishing. I bit my mom so hard she bled when she tried to remove a cricket head from my mouth. Both of my parents and one of my brothers verified the story. Apparently crickets tasted very good to a 5 month old me 😂😂😂
Accidental 0 made it even funnier (our the lack of the word months, haven't figured that out)
Raking is such a pain, leafblowers are fun for a minute, why not just stop the leaves from falling?
I know it's a joke but this reminds me of how emotional abuse works. The abuser won't remember because it's just a normal interaction for them, and/or not important. To the abusee, it's traumatic. (And before I get downvoted: I'm not saying this person is abusive at all, it's just interesting to see how things are remembered differently by different people)
They are not paid enough. And, please, somebody make sure they never run out of mac and cheese. This should never happen!!
May the masses weep and tear out their hair in pain and agony, their tears muddy the streets, flowing down in a river of grief.
Oh god does he also ask for a cheeseburger without cheese in McDonald's as well
Serious time out for that one. Beginning of defiance issues if someone isn't careful.
I found asking the kiddo how THEY think it works and asking why is much more productive than stressing out about answering the question correctly. Half the time my kids just wanted to talk, they didn't really care about the answers I had.
brown spots on pizza cheese are crispy! They're the absolute BEST! :P
Doughnut defiling IS a serious crime. I'm with your older son on this.
I will never forget when my son who was about five of the time accidentally grabbed a razor in the bathtub and cut his finger. He was screaming, "I'm not a full-blooded Indian anymore!"
My daughter had a 45 minute meltdown because I flushed her poo before she got to look at it.
Well she is right!! You have to check them for health reasons!! 😉
