Fiery Temper Season 2

"NO GOOD!" he shouted.

And he stomped down the stairs.


Stomp stomp stomp stomp.


I quickly turned on the TV for myself. Totally ignored Mr. Temper.


He stomped into the room.


Stomp stomp stomp stomp.



I could hear exasperated breaths. He was fuming..panting and huffing and puffing like the big bad wolf.


By then he ought to have slammed the door but because I was in, he daren't.


So he stomped and huffed some more.


"Oooh somebody is in a nasty mood. You can cool yourself in this room. I will close the door for you," I said calmly.


The door closed and I heard NO GOOD NO GOOD NO GOOD~


Mr. NO GOOD was in a bad bad mood, which we didn't care, really.


So he peeked from the bedroom, and realizing that no one was gonna 'pujuk' him, he went on with his NO GOOD NO GOOD NO GOOD chants some more.

Still we ignored him.

And he took a few peeks thereinafter.

By then, Mom and I were giggling at Mr. Temper's ego. Mr. Temper's fire has been doused, yeap.. but his ego was still intact.


So I walked in and asked, "Feeling better? Come and join us outside."

He PUFFED again.

"Oh, still angry. OK, whenever you are ready.." I started my way out. And I felt my hand tugged from behind.

I turned around and looked at my four feet child. Where, I wondered, someone your size gather so much 'fire'?

What came out from my mouth was,"Did you get what you wanted by showing temper?"

He shook his head no.

Sigh.. we walked out hand-in-hand. Me surviving another episode of The Temper of the Doom. This time a lot calmer than the last.





Lesson learned: Ignorance is ikan bilis.
