Mom, I don't think you have to wear one of these.

Do you know how much walking you have to do at Disneyland?

Why do you think they have so many fat people on scooters?

I'll tell you one thing. I'm not going to give you my shoes.

So we had no choice but to put her on a child safety tether.

If I'd had known you guys were going to do this, I'd have brought Stella.

I'll have you know, despite all your jokes, Lily enjoys it.

What do you know? Another caring parent with a child safety tether.

I haven't been judged by this many people since I forgot my canvas bags at Whole Foods.

Yeah, well, maybe they're staring because we have what they want.

You know, I don't care what people think.

If I thought it would keep my daughter safe, I would have a kangaroo pouch sewn into my midriff.

That's going to work out really well for you as a single parent.

And if we lost you, you'd be very scared, and we'd be very sad.

I don't know what to do.

Cause I can fix this for you in about two minutes.

...which we said we were never going to let her wear.
