Maggie Rose or Rosemary's Baby?

So, I encountered the fit to rival all fits. Amusing though it may be for those who watched, for the moody pregnant mom, it was less than fun.

Scene: Sam spends the whole day taking her daughter around to do fun stuff. We go to the little zoo near our house. Play at the park. Go for a ride on the bike. All of these things great, right? Sam decides to take daughter Maggie to the small park near our house that has a water feature that sprays all kinds of water and changes direction and sprays. Fun for kids of all ages.

Maggie loved it. When I say loved it, I mean if she were about 20 years old she probably would have wanted to marry it. It didn't matter that I let her play for 30 minutes, her skin was clammy to the touch, and her lips had a blueish tinge. She would have stayed forever. So when I try to take her home, literally all hell breaks loose. She lets out a scream that cannot compare to anything that I have ever heard come out of her mouth. I thought she was possessed. So then, the petite, pregnant mom must wrangle her slippery daughter, and proceed to carry her the block and a half home. Not a small task with such a determined girl. She proceeded to scream as though I was beating her. I intentionally sat with her outside for about 20-25 more minutes so that the neighbors could see that I was clearly not beating her, as they watched her pace back and forth on the sidewalk screaming. Every time she would calm down, she would pass by me again, look me in the eye with the most defiant face ever, and proceed with the screaming. After the 20 minutes I transferred her into the house, and decided to try the naughty mat. She then spent the next ten minutes kicking the laundry closet and crying. After which I picked her up, and she sobbed pitifully on my shoulder, as though her world collapsed. Of course, Jeremy walks in the door 5 minutes later, and she is once again the angel that only Daddy knows.

As tough as that whole situation was, I spent half the fit trying not to let her see me laughing. She is so darn cute, even when she is mad.
