What I Share With A Screaming Toddler.
I was shopping with my wife the other day.
She's trying on lots of clothes in lots of different shops, not really looking convinced by anything.
It's getting hard to pretend that I'm interested,
when I spy a young lady with her toddler
and the toddler is screaming.
It was then that I had a moment of clarity, in amongst the tears and tantrum.
I am that child and I completely understand what he is going through.
I feel what he feels.
I am frustrated as he is frustrated
I am in pain as he is in pain.
The only difference is, that as I've grown older I've learned to articulate myself better.
I've learned to articulate myself better
I've learned to articulate myself better
I've learned to aticulate myself better.
She knows how I feel.
