Alice: Oooh. I can feel it. I'm going to have a major tantrum today. I can feel the pressure building. Mom: Alice! You're already awake! You must be all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed! Mom: This morning we've got waffles with lots of whipped cream and strawberries, just the way you like them! Come on down! Alice: Oh, it's going to be a bad day...

Hopefully not as terrible, horrible, no good and very bad as Alexander’s day.

Will it be bad because she has no outlet for her tantrum pressure?

@Randy_B
Yeah — it’s awfully FRUSTRATING when there’s NOTHING to complain about on those days when you wake up cranky!

It’s kinda like a migraine headache: you can tell it’s coming, and there’s nothing you can do to stop it. No more than you can stop a lava flow by sticking your thumb into the mouth of a volcano…. Alice, just let it out; get it over with; and accept your inevitable discipline.

Just checked. I have everything but the strawberries. I’ll substitute it with peanut butter.

If only she could hop over to the Peanuts strip and see Lucy at her psychiatrist booth for five cents.

Mom, I’m just musing here but you might want to reconsider something with a little less sugar on this particular day…

Alice just needs to learn (someday, probably not soon) that it’s not going to happen that way..nothing is.

Thus begins one of my favorite story arcs. "Ooh, I feel a relapse coming on . . . "

As a mother of three young-uns, I don’t think I’ve EVER been chipper about someone who is “already awake!” (ie up earlier than usual). Has Madeline lost her mind??
