THROWING A TANTRUM and threatening to move house is a rite of passage for every child.

And last night it was Alfie McTiernan in Sligo’s turn to shine.

Luckily, his uncle Noel was there to capture the glorious moment on film.

“My 4-year-old nephew Alfie decided he’s moving to a different house because he doesn’t want to go to bed”

What a standoff.

We join the saga with Alfie getting his shoes on to “move to another house”

This is serious.

But wait, it’s dark outside, and Alfie requires some equipment for the move:

“I’m not going! I want a lamp!”

Uncle Noel duly obliges, and gives him the flashlight from the couch.

“It’s gone dead!”

This needs to be resolved before Alfie flies the nest:

I’m looking for the charger for this. I’m not going until I get the charger for this.

The standoff continues on the stairs

At this point, you start getting the feeling that Alfie isn’t convinced by his big plan.

Where are you going?

“I’m not telling you. I’m going to a different house – because I said so”

Finally, with the threat of the mysterious Al Francis, Alfie agrees to head on to bed.

What a tense and adorable negotiation.
