Children are uniquely frustrating. They do things like forget one of their shoes, but the anger we feel really only harms us. I've noticed that getting angry at my kids (something I frequently do) rarely achieves any good outcome. Instead, it's on us to outsmart them. Sounds like you achieved this.
