What is this kid's problem??

So Jake went off to work this morning, and I used the time to shop with one tyrant instead of two. Lately Danny has been going through a weird phase which makes it impossible to do anything with him. He doesn't want to be carried, he wants to be down. Ok, fine. I put him down, and then he refuses to walk. I've tried it all, the bye bye and the walk away, the stern voice, the walk or I'll carry you, and nothing works. He crouches and whines.

I complained to my hubby about it, and asked if there is a such a thing as a child sized cattle prod. A couple little zaps and I'm willing to bet he'd be shopping like K-Fed after a child support payment. Who am I kidding, I can't even force the kid to sit in a stroller because I know how much he hates it. Unless he has enough snacks to make the stroller a rolling buffet, he wants no part of it.

The face of defiance:
