Me: ”You have to hold my hand when we’re near the road”
Small: “No! Don’t want to… Not hold hand”
Me: “You’ve got to, it’s dangerous here”
Small: “No! No! Daddy! Not hold hand!” (wriggles out of grasp)
Me: “No! STOP!”…
…but she’s off, faster than I can run, straight towards the busy road junction.
Oh
no, not again.
So I unsling the harpoon gun from my back, calmly shoulder it, aim, and squeeze the trigger.
The bolt whistles through the air and thwacks into her back.
A perfect shot. The big Velcro pad on the harpoon (this is Mark II, of course) meshes with the Velcro target on her back, and I reel her in.
It’s much better than the Mark I – less mess, fewer raised eyebrows at A&E.

Mind out she doesn't get reeled in by a gang of Japanese 'scientists', out harpooning toddlers for 'research'. |

Nice image (though the Mark I would be nicer).
Are baby reins no longer available? |
|

Could save lives. Poor Eric Clapton could have used this. |
|

I could use the Mark I version... |

Sounds like you need one of those toddler harness-leash deals, [Frankx]. |
|
| |
This is not nearly what I thought it was. |
|
| |
a toddler can out-run you? [Frankx], you need to work out ;) |
|
| |
yes she can, and yes, I do! |

Whats wrong bliss? It's not like I 'have' kids... it's more the thought of spearing them with a velcro harpoon gun from a distance of eighty paces....

Oh, you guys like children? Me too! Can we swap recipes? |
|

Only joking, this would be great for my pet monster - er, I mean - little brother... |

I think lassooing children to whisk them out of the path of danger would look cooler. |
|
| |
Although it would be rather tragic if you lasooes their necks to whisk them out of safety, [hippo]. |
