After two and a half hours of looking at clothes for the girls Mikey’s mother spent 15 minutes picking out some jeans and a pair of shirts for him. Throughout the arduous afternoon Sandy was reprimanding her son to “behave,” “stop fidgeting,” “grow up,” etc. The shopping was getting on Mikey’s nerves, and he in turn was driving his mother quickly to the edge. Mikey’s behavior was rotten and his disposition was even worse. Sandy was playing referee between the kids as the long afternoon was wearing them all down. All three children were bickering, especially Mikey and Tami. So, to try to placate the kids, she stopped at the local Mexican quick-serve restaurant.
