I was adamant that my child would never have a screaming fit...
Ha! My daughter whined through the entire plane trip (when she wasn't sleeping) then as soon as we got off she wanted to get back on again! Your story reminds me of the time she wanted to eat one of the black-pepper rice crackers I'd bought. She ate one, looked up at me and shouted "WATER! WATER!" Likewise she loves me telling the story about it and still loves eating them.
Vaguely on topic, my son loves going to sleep listening to Three Guitars/Friday Night in San Francisco.
