Are kids like dogs???

Kids on leashes…

So, while out here in Puerto Rico, there has been something that has been bothering me since I have been here. I have seen it happening in the mall, at the games, and sometimes just out in the middle of the town. What is going on? It may be happening all over the world, but I wouldn’t know because I’m here. So…

What is up with parents walking their little kids on leashes?

Now, at times they seem to want to dress the kids up. They will put a little teddy bear book bag on their back…or a little Barbie book bag. Make them look cute with matching outfits and all. Then you see the leash hanging from the back and in the palms of the parents hands. Everything be cool until the kid see something they like, as simple as a piece of candy or a little toy, and start with that little clumsy run. Then,

WHHOPPPP….they just yank they little asses. Snatch their damn feet right off the floor. Kids just lay on the dirty floor with the same expression a dog has right before it starts whining…those puppy eyes. Poor little kids.

Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of being a kid?…that curiosity, that wonderment of the world…wanting to learn more about the world…wanting to explore and find all the little things and experiences that all add together to form our personalities and characteristics of the adult we are today…

So somebody tell me…

Is it not enough to just discipline your kids when they do something that is so terrible and yet at the same time let them venture somewhat cautiously into the unknowns?

Are these cute, society and socially acceptable, leashes really necessary?

WTF!!!

Simply
