At a convention a few months ago I saw the following:
A kid about 6 years old who had a plastic bag tied around her neck. That’s not the worst part. The plastic bag was filled with comics and a few books. LOL! : (
The wonderful father was walking his daughter around the convention, and using her as some kind of donkey to haul all the crap he bought at the con.
Had he bought a page at our booth I might not have cared as much, but he didn’t even buy anything from us! Ugh.
See my crappy photoshop skills again to get an idea of what I saw:
Kids aren’t mules, people!
But if they are used as such than at least use them to hold pages or a cover that you purchased from our booth.
Nice Girl Mean Thoughts 
saw a woman the other day with a baby carriage loaded with packages where the baby should be – and viola! – the baby WAS THERE UNDER ALL THE PACKAGES !!! (probably turning blue the poor thing)
