Waiting at a red left turn tonight, a car pulled up behind me and I heard a little kid screaming at the top of his lungs, even though my windows were up. It alarmed me because I thought the kid was being kidnapped and was trying to alert someone to the situation. He was screaming the same thing over and over, and finally I was able to discern the words admidst the crying fit of rage:
"I WANT DONUTS!!"
Oh. Wow that kid really really really wanted donuts. Boy if I was that kid's mom I'd smack him. (child abuse!) Okay then I'd ground him hard. For a long long time. Unless he had some sort of mental disability wherin he was unable to control himself, then that would just be mean.

I'm pretty sure every mom has had a screaming child in her car before. It all begins when they are infants....they don't all enjoy their carseats and fall asleep immediately when riding in the car.
I would think it was worse of the mom to pull over to a doughnut shop than to let him/her scream about it.
Still, if that was the only trouble in your life, how great would that be?
How old did the kid look?
I couldn't see the kid since it was dark - and I agree, it would've been worse to go get donuts. I just couldn't believe how bloody-murder it all was.
that's funny, there's a donut place right by the kids dr's office and Heston thinks donuts go with a visit to th dr.s now.
