I don't know, maybe I am old, but the "leash" made sense. In this day and age, he would probably be drugged, sedated and labeled ADHD... Great writing, Sharon, it is funny and it clarifies our values at the same time.

Thanks, Sharron! Yes, maybe that rope saved his life, in spite of the attempts to set him free, and giving him the tricycle to tangle with. I know I put my toddler on a "kid leash" when we were at the SF Zoo, and I didn't have to pul on her little arm, to keep her safe, as the harness was a lot more comfy, and effective...however, she did spend a lot of time on her hands and knees, "being a lion". Embarrasing. ha ha

I agree - one can imagine what would be said if some disciplines from the old days were done in 2024!
