I'm going to take my ball and go home!
I want to be the only one who matters, and if I don't get my way, I'll leave and let everyone else deal with the chaos. It's like when the kid with the ball throws a fit and storms off, leaving the game in ruins just because he can't handle not being the best.
When my friend didn't invite me to the sleepover, I said, 'I'm taking my ball and going home!' and went to my neighbor's house.
My teacher didn't let me use my phone, so I said, 'I'm taking my ball and going home!' and started drawing on the desk.
My sister wouldn't let me watch my favorite show, so I said, 'I'm taking my ball and going home!' and hid in my closet.
