Story
Barbara is having a bad day, although she refuses to admit it at first. It starts with a frustrating sock problem, followed by a tense lunch. Despite her friends’ best efforts, her mood just gets worse and worse … until she throws a massive wobbler. The wobbler keeps on growing until Barbara suddenly realises what she needs to do to control it.
