A particular chapter in Stuart Little shows the protagonist getting upset when his plans go awry. Talking about this with my Red Group was interesting, since several of them are the biggest fit-throwers in the class. I was not expecting this to happen though:
Mr. Hatcher: So, just because what he had planned with the canoe didn't work out, he threw a fit. What do you think about that?
Sheridan: He didn't have to do that. I'm not sure what we are even talking about, but I think I get it.
Hunter: Mr. Hatcher, I am like Stuart.
Mr. Hatcher: How so?
Hunter: I get upset when something goes a different way than I want it to.
Mr. Hatcher: (Praise Jesus you realize this!) Oh? Well we can see how silly that looks, right?
Kleenex Boy: I don't throw fits. When I don't get my way, I throw pussy!
No one flinched. Except for maybe me. Yet they crack up when I ask them to cut a "strip" of paper or to find the "due date" for an assignment.
What the hell does that even mean?
Also, the same stupid book just HAD to describe Margalo's appearance by referring to the yellow streak in her bosom? Really? Kleenex Boy loved to tell us all that this meant BOOB! while I was trying to define it for the rest of the group. When is Spring Break again?
