“Her Mom had taken her eyes off the kid for no more than seconds.”
They are really terrifying at that age.
We had our grandson at the county fair here this weekend. He’s not even 2. I don’t think he’s ever been in a big crowd like that before. You’d like to think the kid would have been a little intimidated, but no. He was ready to scamper off (had to borrow that phrase from the article because it is so perfect) at any given moment.
Just further proof that the terrible doesn’t end at 2 . . .
