Two annoying girls moved into the apartment above me.
I'm forced to hear every dumb thing they say.
These are my letters to them.

“I just saw a parent with her child on a leash! I’m so gonna do that with my kids.” You should also look into designer body armor.

I saw a cat on a leash once inside a discount tire store…that was weird.
and I was in LA a few days ago Charlie!
Well I didn’t hear anyone screaming my name.
well, I would have… but it may have disturbed the girls above you…
Everything about that situation is odd. Who takes their cat shopping for tires?
2nd w00t!
Being online during a post makes me feel special :D
Hi from England :P
Hello to my favorite country on the planet.
Something tells me, its not their children that will need the leash, but maybe the girls themselves.
P.s. Charlie, LOVE this site, I feel like a crack addict: I’m all jittery until I get my daily dose of Dear Girls above me.
Thank you, Joyousness. That is your real name, right?
yes, well partially the rest is just a nickname
I maintain that humiliating children by leashing them is a perfectly acceptable punishment.
It puts the leash around its waist, or else it gets the hose post haste…
I… think I love you.
Thank you. Your love has been accepted and will be responded to in the order in which it has been received. Your current position is 42.
Is she going to tie them to polls and go shopping too? D:
:O England’s your favourite country Charlie?
woww. may i say we all feel honoured ;)
plus i think we should be very worried she’s thinking of kids..
I agree, it’s absolutely devastatingly terrifying that she’s talking about having MULTIPLE CHILDREN. I hope for the kids’ sake that she ends up mating with a man with genius or supergenius IQ so they stand a fighting chance at having a respectable life….
It might skip a generation
hmmmm…i dont understand what the fuss is all about.Its perfectly acceptable
When I was six I was visiting family in the states and one day I saw a kid on a leash. My immediate thought was that if anyone did that to me I’d run away forever (it was my answer to everything). In reality I’d probably never live it down and blame all failures on that.
Good thing this only happens to kids over the pond.
I was a leash kid when I was younger, and so were my sister and cousins. It saved all of our lives a time or two, because there are no sidewalks where I’m from. I would never put my kid on a leash that goes around their waist, or those odd backpacks. We just had a rope with four handles on it. It let us have the freedom to walk without holding our parents hands, while still staying safe.
Charlie, maybe you should leave a leash at their door step, along with a note saying “in case you ever have children.” or “for when you have children.” or something of the like. I wonder how they would react to that.
By the way, I love you and your blog.
I lovvvvvvvve kids on leashes!! not that I think its right, but it’s highly amusing. this summer i went to DC to see my cousin and his wife, and they whipped out this stuffed monkey leash for their kid. You could tell that he hated it, even at 1 1/2 years old, but it was soooo cute. i took pictures :)
love you charlie!!
I was leashed as a child :-( I wish I was joking
put something shiny and sharp at the bottom of the stairs so they get distracted fall on it and hopefully, sustain injuries that prevent the from having children
This comment is horrible. Okay, it’s fun to say “Darwin kick in here! Please!” but to wish ill will upon the girls is awful. And I know you’re likely not serious, but that just disturbed me.
I agree. I just got the shivers just thinking about it
Frida Kahlo just rolled over in her grave.
But if they dont have children then who’s going to continue and take over the family business?
I was leashed as a kid when we went into big cities…. well, until I started barking at people. =)
I was a leash kid :(
i was never leashed, but one time i was at a fair and i saw kids with not only leashes, but also duct tape signs on their backs that said “IF FOUND CALL ###-###-####”
That is HILARIOUS. But absolutely genius! Hahaha no need to go to the police with a lost child or anything!
Oh..oh god. Just the thought of those two reproducing makes me want to cry myself to sleep at night..please don’t let it happen, Charlie.
Oh dear lord- they are planning on multiplying! That can’t end well…
maybe putting them on leashes will complete their fantasies of having a puppy…..
I wish I were a leashed kid. It makes the kids look so cute!
To all the people who think leashing your kid is cute, or funny, you lack empathy for other human beings. Everything that happens in the early years is highly important to forming a healthy sense of self, and being leashed like a dog tells the child a multitude of potentially destructive things.
My mother used a leash that had a curly cord so it always pulled me back to her if I tried to walk away. It attached to my wrist. I hated it. If I had the words for the confusion and sadness back then, I would say that it made me feel like my mom didn’t trust me to make any decisions for myself, viewed me as having similar intelligence with our dog, and didn’t think it was ok for me to just be a child. I was an extremely well behaved, quiet child, and the leash was unnecessary, embarrassing and shameful.
I also had the curly corded leash… to be honest i didn’t mind it, then again I was roughly two and a HORRIBLE child. I hid under clothes racks, pulled toys off shelves to play with, and tried opening boxes and packages of cookies. PLUS I threw terrible fits when told no… in my case the leash was necessary, and eventually taught me to try and out think my parents: according to them I figured out how to get it off and reattached it to a stuffed animal when I was four, Thus ending the leashing period, and begining the strapped into the cart basket… which in my opinion was ten times worse than the leash!
I once saw a mother with her child on a leash and her dog in a stroller. I did such a severe double take that I ended up walking into a tree.
This site is my new favorite way to procrastinate. <3
I had to be leashed as a child, as I had a tendancy to get bored while my mom was shopping, hide in clothing racks and get stores shut down because no one could find me.
I was once on a leash….that lasted about an hour. I tried to get away and climb over a fence. I ended up getting stuck and hanging there while my mom untwisted me.
Charlie, I think you should get a leash and leave it at their door step on christmas.
Once upon a time, I, too was a leash kid.
My grandparents thought it would be funny to attach me to my cousin once. It didn’t turn out too well, we both ended up with skinned knees. Although, I may have inherited my twisted sense of humour from them.
Charlie, I do hope we can become Facebook friends. My last status was about your reply on my comment. And yes, I am nerdy enough to admit that.
not to sound to terribly harsh, but that’s kinda creepy.
*too
Yeah I realized it after I’d already hit ‘submit’.
meh…
NO LEASHES COULD CONTAIN YOUNG LORD VOLDEMORT!
But could a leash contain malfoy and a dragon?
most likely
It worked when I tried it
England’s your favourite country?
that is so, so disappointing…Australia’s pretty cool too you know.
Also, leashes are terrible. The kids that need leashes are too smart for them and learn how to take them off, Eg: me.
It’s my birthday! Greetings from England.
So am I the only one who thinks that the designer body armor idea is hilarious? Charlie, see if you can get the Army to hook up with Calvin Klein or someone. This could be a good idea. If nothing else, our boys will be putting enemies down in stylish, well tailored kevlar!

there you go, designer body armor ;)
That’s some scary shizz.
dolce & gabbana gone crazy!
They’re called reigns ;) They’re for toddlers so they feel that they are walking alone, and being independent, but at the same time you have control and are keeping them safe, away from roads ect (: Btw this site is amazeeeeeeee <3
I think leashing kids is an awful idea… especially if the two upstairs plan to try that. However why dont you try leashing them both together? I can tell you it was pretty damn funny when i did it to my boyfriend and his best friend. Best april fools day EVAHHH!!!
I was leashed as a child. I could escape from them too. It was rocking.
Ok, you are obviously the funniest person in the universe. I think I love you…
i think that putting your child on a leash shows love concern. it’s completely a safety percaution. No one can steal your child and said child can’t wonder away in crowded areas or onto a busy street. people that hate their parents for leashing them, they should probably be a little more gratful for having such concerned parents, i know i would be happy if my parents cared enough.
just saying;
Well said Dannielle (: x
well, thanks :)
Haha one day when I was at the Tennessee aquarium I saw a kid who was not only leashed, but they had attached the leash to a small puppy or kitten collar around his wrist, instead of the normal backpack made for kids type leashing devices. I think the ropes with loops are great for keeping groups of kids together and near their parents (or teachers depending on the situation) but I’m not a fan of the actual leashes.
