Yes, it was an instance I still haven't left lived down. My Mom still tells the story.
My parents put me in after school daycare and would leave me there till it was nearly dark. Then when my mom who didn't work mind you decided to pick me up she would often bring me along on her shopping addictions until stores closed. Target, Kmart, and the like.
Well once at a Kmart I saw the figure I thought was the coolest thing I'd ever seen. It took years for me to ever figure out what it was. I now know it was Dagger from the Skeleton Warriors line.
I had never seen the cartoon so all I knew of them was this toy. I had to have it, but my Mom thought it was too scary and that by me owning it I'd turn into some Satan worshipping freak. I threw a massive tantrum and would not leave the store, she threatened to drive away and leave me there, I didn't care until she threaten to call the cops and have me arrested, which in my young mind I thought was an actual possibility.
The NEXT day my dad took me back and bought it for me.
