Sir Duke: Tiller Pitches a Royal Fit
Dragging a kicking and screaming Tiller, age two, into Publix. As I lifted her into the buggy, trying to force her legs into the holes of the seat as she attempted to keep them straight and throw herself out onto the cement floor at the same time, the first notes of Stevie Wonder's ever-so-cheery "Sir Duke" came on over the store music system. As my Mama says, sometimes you have to laugh to keep from crying.

I've been there. I agree with laughing part, it is better than crying.
We have Queen Dagny at our house too. The knowledge that they are independent beings seems sometimes just a little too much for the toddlers to handle.
Sometimes Dagny's screaming lasts the whole shopping trip - except when we see Mr. Donel, who gets smiles and hugs because he isn't mommy.
Good for you for laughing about it.
What were you doing wrong that made her so upset?

Pinching her. Hard.dun
