And it turns out that they had a full diaper, but couldn't use their words, hence the tantrum, then they take a nap they don't want to take?
Toddlers, man.

I have often seen masculinity, conventional version, as a constant renunciation, in return for corrosive power. All the things you're not allowed to like, enjoy, do, say, wear, but (metaphorically speaking) this straitjacket comes with a gun.

(I know)
I'm on a roll
I'm on a roll, this time
I feel my luck could change
Kill me Sarah
Kill me again with love
It's gonna be a glorious day
Pull me out of the air crash
Pull me out of the lake
'Cause I'm your superhero
We are standing on the edge
Quiet, piggy
