Those darned Blinky shoes

I took Sasha to her weekly playtime at our local school district. There are usually many young children, but this week there were only two other kids at the program. One child was a 22 month old japanese boy. The other child was a 2.5 year old cute little Indian girl with pigtails.
The boy had blinky shoes on! Once Sasha noticed his shoes, she was his personal shadow. She followed him around, pointing and staring at his feet. If he stopped walking, his shoes would stop blinking, so she'd push him to make him walk. This upset him several times. I had to explain to his mother that Sasha was fascinated by his shoes, not trying to be a brute.
