I always thought those leashes for kids were kind of silly but now that I’ve seen this mother with her kid at the Verizon store, it all makes sense.

I know parenting is hard, which is why I’ve skillfully dodged it with pseudonyms and really long flights of stairs. But man, there’s really got to be a sense of decorum with how you treat your kid. You can’t just go dragging kids around like this, no matter how terrible they are. Unless you’re stealing them from someone else and you just lasso’d him in. Then I may not agree with your chosen vocation, but respect your abilities in getting the job done. These Jordans aren’t going to make themselves, kid.
