VENTURA, CA — Local toddler Jack Gibson had a major meltdown this week after discovering the food he threw on the ground was on the ground.
"WAAHHHH! Eggies on ground!" Jack lamented. "I want eggies! WAAAAHHH!"
Jack's mother, Rachel, told reporters she advised her son not to throw his breakfast on the floor but her warnings were ignored. "I said ‘Jack, don't throw your food on the ground, I'm not going to pick it up for you.' He just looked at me, smiled, and chucked the whole plate off his highchair. Then the screaming started."
Immediately after hucking the meal off the side of his highchair, Jack demanded his mom pick up the eggs and return them to his tray, presumably to repeat the action. The tragedy preceded another meltdown later in the morning when the toddler demanded his mom let him bring the giant worm he found in the backyard into the house. "I want IN! Bring wormie IN!" Jack demanded.
As of publishing time, Rachel could be seen eating peanut M&Ms in the closet while Jack colored the back of the couch with permanent markers and emptied a box of Raisin Bran into the dog's food bowl.
