The Leader and The Follower

In our home, we have a leader and we have followers.  The leader leads and the follower is expected to follow.  If the followers do not comply, the leader gets angry and sometimes cries.  The leader is a man of many inquiries.  He must be followed to satisfy help satisfy his inquiries.  Such as, open this door for me, take me outside, why can't I get into the a/c vent and can I have 20 teddy grams in my mouth at once and still talk?  The followers must follow, answer pleas and provide satisfactory assistance. 
 
The journey is sometimes a long one.  It begins with the leader grabbing a preferred follower by the finger and leading the follower to the destination.  Sometimes this is the shortest route, but most of the time the leader takes the long slow route, just for torture and to make the followers miss more of their activity.  If you are lucky, the leader will get distracted by something along the way.  The leader will then release the follower to their previous activity.  unfortunately, the leader rediscovers the activity later on and the trek continues. 
 
The leader also likes to be on the other side of the gate.  As you know, the carpet is greener (or browner in our case) on the other side of the gate.  It also contains more dangers for the leader, which he is willing to take without much thought to his well being.  The leader often is rejected by the followers only to cry and then get distracted by another object.  Fear not readers, the leader soldiers on to his conquest and has the control of the heart strings of the followers, so all is well.
