"Why are you crying?" asked Mommy.
"Because I don't like chocolate ice cream! I want vanilla ice cream!"
"Stop crying. Big boys don't cry. We'll buy your vanilla ice cream in another store."

"Waaah! I don't like carrots! I want cake!"
"Why are you crying?" asked Mommy.
"Because I don't like to eat carrots! I want to eat cake!"
"Stop crying. Big boys don't cry. Finish your carrots and you can eat cake."

"Waaah! I don't like Cartoon Network! I want Batibot!
"Why are you crying?" asked Mommy.
"Because I don't like to watch Cartoon Network! I want to watch Batibot!"
"Stop crying. Big boys don't cry. Watch Cartoon Network first, then you can watch Batibot.

"Waaah! I don't like a t-shirt! I want a toy!"
"Why are you crying?" asked Mommy.
"Because I don't like to buy a t-shirt! I want to buy a toy!"
"Listen to me. Stop crying. You're a big boy now. Big boys don't cry. Only babies cry. Are you a baby?"
"No, I'm a big boy now."
"So stop crying. I'll buy you this t-shirt for your birthday. And then I'll buy you a toy for Christmas. Okay?"
"Okay, Mommy. I'm sorry. I'll stop crying now."

And the big boy stopped crying since.
