Spoiled little TanTan was having one of his dramatic afternoons again. The moment Mom picked up a new diaper to change him, he already felt annoyed. TanTan never liked anything that interrupted his playing time, especially when he was in the middle of climbing around and exploring his toys. As soon as Mom called his name, he turned his face away and pretended not to hear. But Mom knew exactly what he was doing.
When Mom gently lifted him to lay him down for the diaper change, TanTan’s tantrum alarm exploded. He started c-rying loudly, kicking his tiny legs and waving his arms like a little monkey storm. The spoiled side of him always wanted to do things his own way, but Mom had no choice—TanTan needed a fresh diaper. His previous one was already messy, and Mom couldn’t let him stay uncomfortable.
The louder he c-ried, the more dramatic his face became. His eyebrows squeezed together, his lips trembled, and he stared at Mom with a mixture of complaint and frustration. Mom tried to calm him down with soft words, but TanTan acted as if he was facing the biggest problem in the world. His little tantrum echoed through the room, making Mom sigh with both amusement and exhaustion.
Mom quickly cleaned him, even while he tried to roll away. She held him gently but firmly, knowing that this was just one of TanTan’s spoiled moments. When she finally placed the fresh new diaper on him, TanTan’s c-rying slowed down, turning into soft whimpers. Mom stroked his head and whispered, “It’s okay, my boy. All done.”
Within minutes, his tantrum disappeared like it never happened. TanTan looked fresh, clean, and comfortable again. He clung to Mom, seeking comfort after all his dramatic crying. Mom kissed his forehead, relieved that the struggle was over.
Mom knew that even though TanTan was spoiled, his tantrums were just his childish way of showing emotion. And no matter how noisy he became, she loved him deeply—especially now when he looked peaceful in his brand-new diaper.
