Recently there was an incident with a tantrum-prone 4 year old and a phone call to the Canada Revenue Agency (tax man!). It was some of the most noteworthy screaming I have ever heard from that particular child.Angela Fehrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14348875452757012357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8095068418828488278.post-43927818556655875432009-01-07T17:04:00.000-06:002009-01-07T17:04:00.000-06:00HA!
