Adults May Act Like Adults -- Or Secretly Identify With the Temper-Tantrum-Having Kid in the Store

When we are at the grocery store, and we see a child having a temper-tantrum, our first thought might be regarding the hopes that the parents of the child, will immediately find a way to quiet and smooth the child.

If the tantrum continues, we may become really disconcertingly put-off by all of the noise and out-of-control behavior.

And, after-a-while -- we may identify with the child's frustration; perhaps, secretly wishing that we could throw-up our hands and start kicking and screaming out of tiredness and an overall rough day. It may be funny though, because the child is the one who gets the privilege of getting-away with the attention-getting tantrum act (something, that we as adults could never do); and we may joke to one another, about how we want to go home too.
