I think as a parent of a 13 & 10 year old there isn't much I haven't seen. I've walked off and left buggy's full because they wouldn't behave in a store. The funniest thing that worked wonders happened with my son at about the age of 6 in a Sam's store. He decided we were going to buy him a Atlanta Falcon Pillow Pal no matter what. After being told no several times he started pitching a fit. You know the kind... I leaned over told him if he didn't stop right now I was going to embarrass him just like he was me. Well he didn't stop so it was time to make a believer of him. So as the husband and daughter went flying in the opposite direction. I took him by the leg so he couldn't run away. I laid my nearly 6 foot self down in the isle of that store and started kicking my feet, beating my free hand on the ground, slinging my head, crying, and pitching a superior fit. ...and I didn't turn him loose and I kept doing it. A lady came by with a child in a buggy and said "Oh my look at that little girl pitch a fit. How embarrassing!". Gave me a thumbs up and kept on shopping. After about five minuets of that I got my self up went to the bathroom gave my self a sink bath and slathered on germX. Now all I have to do is ask either of my kids if they want to go there again and they behave.
Now I'm sure there's a security video of it around some where I'm just waiting on it to go viral. So if you ever see a video of crazy lady pitching a fit in a store that would be me.
