Leash Kid

I was trying to go down the stairs in Goodwill today, but I got stuck behind a lady holding a little boy on a leash. She waited for him to take each step before stepping, and together they monopolized the diameter of the stairwell. We were all forced to take the tempo of our little pace-setter. The brown leash was clipped to the little boy's backpack, which was really just a stuffed monkey with straps and a leash clip. Meanwhile, at the bottom of the stairs, a little girl about the same age was running around screaming, "Mama, come here, come here!!"
