Many of you Ricochet members are parents, so you're familiar with the nightmare of a 3-year old melting down into an irrational and ear-piercing frenzy because he can't have what he wants.  Growing up with two younger brothers, I remember this being a regular part of the grocery store routine when our mom wouldn't acquiesce to demands for the cereal with the cookies in it, or when she discovered the candy bar that one of the boys had snuck into the cart in hopes that it would make it through the checkstand undetected and unprotested.

But a 3-year old who throws a fit because he can't have Chris Christie's job?  Now that, I've never seen.  Until now:

By the way, this bout of tears won the 3-year old and his parents some seriously nice dough on America's Funniest Home Videos, indirectly signaling to children everywhere that adopting the comportment of Anthony Weiner can really get you places.

Best part was Christie's response on Twitter:

Don’t worry Jesse, people gave plenty of reasons why I couldn't be Governor, though being too small wasn't one of them.

 Still, the kids are pretty good actors.  For kids.

 Give him 1 days in the Governor's office and he'll be crying just as hard to get out. By the way Diane, he didn't behave exactly like Weiner because he'd have to cry AND wet his pants.

This is so funny, and so adorable.

I do have to think, though, that if my children did this, I might take it as a sign that I ought to spend a little more time with them playing kids games, and a little less time in front of the news. haha

At least the mother wants lower property taxes.
