Travels to the Edge

So I get the bus from work and there is this youngish father and his daughter who looks to be around 7 or 8 years old sitting about three seats ahead of me.

I'm on the bus about 5 minutes when she has a complete melt down over her Barbie. Screaming at the top of her lungs multiple times, kicking the back of the seat in front of her, the whole nine yards.

After several minutes of this, a guy across the aisle from me says something. Then within two minutes of that, the bus driver stops and tells the dad he has to get her off the bus, which she of course is resisting, and in effect, holding everyone hostage. I was about 30 seconds away from getting off myself, when she finally budged. OMG
