They are three in a row; the man walks ahead along the school sidewalk, the bigger sister next, with the little sister behind.
Little sister: AAAAAHHHHH, AAAAHHHHAAAAAA
Man:
Little sister: WAAAAAHHHHHHH
Little sister: A,A,A,AAAAAAAAWWWWWHHHHHHHHH
Little sister: WAWAWAAAAAAAAHHH
Man:
Bigger sister: Quiet, you’ll scare the chickens.
Little sister (passing the hen house): annnhhh, unhhh
Little sister: (sniffle) uhhh, uhhhhhhhh
Little sister: unhhhh, (sniff), uwhhhhh
Little sister (past the hen house): WAWAWAAAAAAAAHHH
Little sister (turning the corner): A,A,A,AAAAAAWWWWWWHHHHH
Little sister (farther down the walk): WAWAWAAAAAAAAHHHHH
(Me, thinking: Ah, I feel for all involved in a tantrum. But this one made me laugh. Sorry, little sister.)

I always feel for the parents in these situations, but your right. All are at their wits end. Love Calvin.❤️

Ok, that’s hysterical! I think you did a great job capturing the moment in dialogue. I always have to work and rework dialogue and still…it can be tough! Fun slice!

Well done! I have to admit I laughed with every line and held my breath as we walked by the chickens. Sorry little sister.

This is excellent. The way you have nothing to say for the man sets the tone, and I can see relationship between the sisters in your dialogue. Loved this slice and Calvin, natch. 🙂

Oh the joys of tantrums! I’m glad you could catch the moment and the funny side. Wonder what the chickens said?

I wish I could melt down to the primal screaming level some days. Envious of those little ones.

You can always tell the real pros. They say exactly what Man said in your slice and just keep on walking. Gotta give Bigger Sister credit for her attempt at a masterful distraction. You had me totally engaged in your story.

I also like how you include the man but by leaving it blank was powerful. I also agree that reading this made me laugh. Love the addition of Calvin. I agree with Amy. Sometimes I wish I could just walk down Albemarle St, passing the chickens and just scream!! You captured this moment perfectly.
