Omg. I had a very similar experience with my youngest son. He was naked for like an hour until he calmed down enough for us to sort it out. My husband was also still at work. πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

When my now 11 yo was 3, more than once I gave her exactly what she asked for and she said, "Oh, thank you mom!" then immediately threw herself on the ground crying because apparently, it was not at all what she wanted 🫠
