Cranky Pants discovered a unicorn in a park the other day, in the form of a unique book. She wants to tell us all about it, though I promise her tale won’t be as long as a book. You can follow Mrs. Pants at: https://crankypants2.wordpress.com/. Here is her unicorn story:
Walking a Book on a Leash
So I was in our local conservation area today getting ready to walk the dog with my Hubby. Or is that walk the Hubby with my dog? I’m not sure. Anyway…
As we were getting out of our truck a gentleman was walking by with his two kids. He had a book on a leash and was walking it as though it was a pet.
My first thought was, “What the?”
Said gentleman stopped to chat with my dog..Ah ahem, I mean my Hubby. He showed my Hubby the book. It was a book with all sorts of fun activities written in it to do with his kids. Walking the book on a leash was one of the activities in the book. I’m assuming the kids came up with some of them.
We joked about how walking a book would be much easier then walking our dog (or my Hubby). They wouldn’t have to clean up after a book, or worry about it barking. The kids thought that was funny.
Later we saw the same family and they were playing hide and seek. Not with the book, but with their kids as the kids gripped that book of love and laughed so hard.
Never in a million years would I have ever thought I’d see a dude walking a book on a leash but…It sure was wonderful, to see a father and later their mother spending so much time, and having so much fun with their kids.
It made my heart happy.

Kids love it when parents get silly with them . . .

I agree. In fact kids love it when parents do anything with them. Except browbeating, whacking upside the head, and stuff like that. Those kids are pretty lucky to have parents like that.

They really do. I think it makes them feel like they are just as important as we adults think we are.

Yes. Perhaps you’re like one of those clocks that’s perfectly accurate twice a day.

And where we live you don’t see a whole of that. So it made it all the more heart warming to witness.

Sounds like a rough neighborhood where you live. Are children at least given ways to keep busy, for instance through forced labor?

In our small town there is a skate park and that’s it. The bullies have mostly taken it over so most parents who care are scared to let their kids go there. The bullies are so bad that they bully the adults too. Some of the women have had trouble with them. Weapons included at times. There is an insane amount of theft and destruction and I think part of that reason is the kids are bored. I don’t know if anyone can really imagine how bad NA is unless they’ve lived here. And it looks like we’re stuck here for another winter.

Wow, even the kids are scary in NA. Maybe when the bullies are at the skate park, someone could throw out a handful of pebbles.

lol that might work. Yep kids and many adults alike. I’ve lived in three provinces and this is by far the worst I’ve ever experienced. I don’t think all of AB is like this just the Northern part.
