Poor A Tong was devastated.
All he wanted was to be in mom’s arms, snuggled close, feeling safe and warm. But today, mom was busy. She had things to do, and for once, she didn’t pick him up right away.
A Tong couldn’t believe it. His tiny heart shattered!
At first, he let out a small whimper, hoping mom would notice. When that didn’t work, he tried a louder cry.
Still nothing!
Now, the full-blown tantrum began.
A Tong threw himself onto the floor, rolling from side to side, flailing his little arms in frustration. His cries grew louder and louder, echoing through the room.
“WAAAHHH! MOM, PICK ME UP!!”
He kicked his tiny feet and pounded his little fists on the ground, his whole body shaking with heartbreak. How could mom just ignore him like this?!
Mom glanced at him, sighing with a little smile. “A Tong, baby, I see you. But you’re being very dramatic,” she said gently.
But A Tong did not want to hear it. His cries got even louder, his little face red with frustration.
Finally, mom gave in. With a soft laugh, she scooped him up into her arms. “Alright, you little drama king. Come here,” she said, hugging him tight.
Instantly, A Tong stopped crying. He sniffled, snuggled into her chest, and let out a deep, relieved sigh.
That’s better.
Mom chuckled. “You just wanted attention, huh?”
A Tong yawned, already feeling sleepy in mom’s warm embrace. Maybe next time, he wouldn’t have to cry so hard.
