As a former "manny," I can attest that the worst part of a tantrum is the fake crying. As any totally certified non-expert in child psychology knows, it's merely an attempt to piss you off. And with a flood of fake tears, the kid usually succeeds with flying colors. Once the crying begins, up goes my white flag.

So it should come as no surprise that there are moms and dads who have turned off the frustration and turned on the camcorder to capture their kids putting on some killer performances.

• Aiden, Aiden, Aiden. Wrestle up some emotion, for goodness sake! The moisture is supposed to come from your eyes, not your mouth!

• Josephine has the fake tantrum down to a science. Plus, the odd addition of Cat Stevens in the background somehow makes it more dramatic.

• This li'l dude has got the bit so nailed down, he doesn't even have to be upset to display his skills!

• At three years old, this little girl is no longer a baby, but instead a very talented toddler who has no need to close her mouth (like, at all) to show off her skills.

• You can't fool us, Remi. You're wiping away nothing! Those tear ducts are closed for business.

• Bonus: not only does one-year-old Mia not cry, but she can sing about it as she mimics Fergie's anthem to dry eyes, "Big Girls Don't Cry"
