[blparent] Noisy shoes

[Elizabeth Cooks]

Well, getting stares in public is better than having your child kidnapped or 
letting the kids run all over the store like other parents do.  Keep them in 
a confined area like a cart or stroller, carry them, or use a leash to keep 
them next to you...It's as simple as that.
