We’ve all been there—whether you’re coping with a toddler’s breakdown in the cereal aisle or your own grown-up version of a bad day. Tantrums are universal, dramatic, and honestly? Kind of hilarious when you’re not in the thick of one.

So buckle in, because this collection of tantrum puns is ready to turn your frown upside down—or at least give you something to smile about while chaos erupts around you.
