That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for April 27, 2021

Madeline didn’t feel she was engaging in cultural appropriation when she played with her toy rickshaw.

That’s the ticket – put the little ankle biters to work as soon as they can walk!

Julia, training little Eli how to pick up men, and maybe some tips.

What happened to the woman in the brown dress (on the far right). Was she made out of wax or something? She looks like she melted.

♫“I’ll never be your beast of burden…”♫

Maggie had a terrible sense of balance. Without her Strato Walker she’d fall flat on her face.

Have some cough medicine dear, you look a little horse…

Mother-of-the-year Award goes to that one.

Gigi as a tot.

What’s that old saying ? “If you can’t bring the horse to the carriage, bring the carriage to the horse.”

While Ellie was taking her dolly for a carriage ride she hadn’t noticed it feel off about 50 yards back.

somehow, the midget rickshaw drivers always had a tough time scaring up business…

“YOU PROMISED ME A PONY!”

No matter how well dressed the workers were, no one appreciated the manure cart being pulled through the park during peak hours. The patrons, being British, were of course too polite to complain.

Why can’t I have a real wagon, Mom?

The nannies were all beguiled/ by the devotion of Julia’s child/ but in later years/ (this will bring you to tears)/ ‘twas the Mom kept the kid’s nails filed. (See previous painting)

The mother’s both shameless and smart/ She’s training the child in the art/ (or is it a science?). of gathering “clients”./ The whore’s before the cart.

Made to dress like a girl, Rick Shaw finally put his foot down and said ENOUGH! GET OUT!

“Here she comes now and she thinks she’s a pony”, thank you Tommy James.

“I warned you what would happen if you put the cart before the horse.”

The muscles (and bustles) from Brussels.

If you don’t get another customer in the next five minutes, no dinner for you tonight! After all, Momma needs new shoes.

“That damn DoorDash girl almost ran over me. The very nerve of her.

“Shaddap! We’ll see about getting you the pony for Christmas. (But I wouldn’t count on it, Coal Collector)

Mom, why are people asking how much I charge?

“PEE OFF! Can’t you see my “OFF DUTY” light!"

Little girl, do you do pickups? I’m very tired.

I thought us blondes were supposed to have more fun.

“And you’re not to return home until all of the flowers are sold. Do you understand me?”

If your career as a geisha falls flat, you can still make a living as a pedi-cab “driver”.

The child-powered rickshaws never caught on.

I should have posted, “Gigi, toter tot!” Too late, I guess!
