Or a teenager. Those are the ones who REALLY need to be on leashes... ;)
I would accept the argument that teenagers need a leash....and maybe even a shock collar as well.
It took millennia for science to find those XY and XX chromosomes (respectively) that positively define who's who in the zoo.
Then along come the dumbest of all creatures to ever crawl out of the primordial ooze, the Woke,
who truly believe that God's will can be changed with drugs and cutting off your bits.
This is the textbook definition of dumb.
As we were conversing and eating, I looked just in time to see my toddler toddling as fast she she could straight toward a five-foot-drop into a very shallow creek with stones in it.
Jumped to my feet and gave chase, yelling for her to stop. Daughter just giggled and kept toddling away! Whee!
I manged to intercept her just two feet from the rim. She just laughed and laughed in the meantime. What fun!
Yeah, I wish I had a leash that day.
Now my only daughter is the mother of two daughters and sells delicious cakes that she bakes at home. I'm not going to ask if she reports profits to the IRS. She is all grown up and that is none of my business.
As for business, government intrusion and the filling out of forms is why my ex said she shut down a bakery business she started in a rented shop after only a year.
I am absolutely certain that however old I get to be, I'd have lived ten years longer than that, had it not been for that little caper. I've always been in favor of a leash, but for some reason never felt like I "needed" one until that day. And yes, his teen years were even worse.....much of which I still don't know and beg him not to tell me.
We celebrated his fiftieth birthday last week.
We now get similar intrusive requests from the USDA. Can you spell i_g_n_o_r_e ?
Donating to all of them thar "chip ins" would surely lead to homelessness and holding up a "chip in" sign along some interstate's exit ramp. .
