*At the supermarket, an infant throws a tantrum trying to convince his mom to buy him a chocolate bar*
little boy: Mom! please just one ! I'll be so good !
mom: no sweetie, put it down.
little boy: Please mom PLEASEE !It's on sale mom !
mom: no you already had ice cream today, that's enough sweets for today, maybe next time.
little boy: That's not fair ! Kyle's mom lets him have treats whenever he wants! He gets to eat candy everyday !
mom: Well, I'm not Kyle's mom. If you want Kyle's mom you can follow him home after school tomorrow.
little boy: NO, mom ! ugh fine, next time....
This dialogue happened at the supermarket in the candy aisle. It was a little boy arguing with his mother to purchase a candy bar. When I heard this dialogue, I thought it was the cutest thing. This made me reminisce on my childhood when that child used to be. I used to always beg my mom to buy snacks for me and she would always say that it was unhealthy and made me put it down. It's funny because now that I'm older, I've experienced and seen the perspectives of both parties. I understand the perspective of the child who wanted the candy bar and I understand the mother who wanted the child to be healthy. This taught me that as we grow up, we gain different perspectives and that our views are constantly changing. We may think a certain way one day, but that can change anytime.
