Tie it

If I ever tell you guys that I want kids I'm going to count on one of you to slap some sense into me. Today was ridiculous. I went out to buy something and there were so many cars driving around everywhere that it made me want to shoot myself. There were a lot of impatient people on the road. They were probably having anxiety attacks while thinking about what to buy as last minute Christmas gifts for people (speaking of which I though Christmas was Wednesday... oops). Anyway, if I reacted to a green light with a 1 second delay I got honked at. Geez. People are crazy. Holidays make people crazy. That was a long tangent.

What I was going to tell you guys was that as I was standing in line there was a little kid driving a toy train in circles around me. I was irritated that I couldn't move freely without stepping on him, but I remained civil and ignored him. However, you can only contain irritation for so long before you explode. He started running his train ON my shoes and my leg. What. The. Heck. Where were the parents in this situation? Happily chatting along behind me "oh he's so cute look at him playing with his train." Really? I'm not saying children should be put on leashes, but control your kids gosh dang.

By the way, I love how they try to disguise them as cute backpacks. Though, "honey go put on your backpack" does sound significantly better than "honey go get your leash." It would be funny if there was a mom walking a dog and a kid at the same time. :)
