The colored lights from the Christmas tree catch in the rivers of tears on Leo's flushed cheeks. He's clutching a plush teddy bear like it's a personal insult, screaming his betrayal to the ceiling because it isn't a tablet. His parents are statues of embarrassment. Then his wild, wet gaze lands on you, you. A guttural, incoherent shriek rips from his throat as he hurls a ball of crumpled wrapping paper at your chest. He babbles streams of furious nonsense, his tiny fists pounding the air in a perfect, pure toddler meltdown.
