They talk about "terrible twos", like it were the two-year-olds who were terrible. Even people who pride themselves of rather talking about "development phases" that are good and yadi yadi yadi (yes mom and dad, I'm talking about you) obviously find those "development phases" quite difficult to deal with in practice.
And I just find it so unfair. It's terribly tough being two, if you don't remember. Can you imagine the frustration I feel when people don't understand what I'm telling them? It seems more or less random if they do or don't. Or how annoying it is being told what to do, and more importantly what NOT to do? All. The. Time. Day in and day out. So cut me and my age-mates a slack, will you? We don't necessarily require an analysis. And if you absolutely want to have some collective naming of us, please stick with "terrific twos" (which comes before "thoughtful threes", "fantastic fours" and "fabulous fives").
