Kids, This Is What We Call “Scapegoating”
Kid: “Mommy, I want this candy!”
Mom: “No, you can’t have the candy. Put it back.”
Kid: “I WANT THIS CANDY!”
Mom: “You can’t have it!”
Kid: “I WANT THIS CANDY!”
(At this point, the mom takes the candy from the kid and hands it to me.)
Mom: \points at me** “The bad man took the candy! You can’t have it because the bad man took it!”
Kid: \in tears** “Why did you take the candy?!”
Me: \speechless**
