Together, my quick-tempered 6-year-old and I have agreed to place our hands on our bellies - a technique she learned in kindergarten - to calm ourselves.
She wasn't as proud and quick-tempered as her mother, but she was used to getting what she wanted.
她不像她母亲那样孤傲和脾气暴躁，但也是习惯了要什么有什么。

You understand, one conceives an affection for a person; I am a good sort of a beast, I am; I do not reason; I love that little girl; my wife is quick-tempered, but she loves her also.
