I’ve been seeing a lot of stuff about kids and “leashes” lately. Which made me think of this…

That’s Bubba and my niece B walking through the zoo. She demanded he hold her monkey backpack’s tail while she carried armfuls of stuffed animals. I mean seriously demanded, and when a 3 year old demands and you are not the parent, you obey. We got some interesting looks that day. I once was one of those people staring down the person with their kid on a leash and still am in most situations. But seriously, I don’t see the big deal here, it’s not like she had on a choke chain or was yanked like a dog. She just wanted her Unkie to hold her monkey’s tail.
