I did something similar just after Christmas
with my 2 year old son.

We were travelling back to the UK on a longhaul flight, which is hard work with a toddler.

At the airport, I was left to look after him while Mrs and his 8 year old sister went off shopping. He decides for some reason he wants to go to Miami, and is insisting on joining the queue from the lounge that are filing through the gate.

As the queue diminished, the point at which I would have to extricate him came closer, and all my invitations to go check out the water cooler, escalators, shops and coffee kiosks were just producing an ever more hysterical "I want to go through here" reaction.

So, as we got to the gate, I quietly asked the guy collecting boarding passes to tell him he can't go through.

"WHERE ARE YOU GOING??" He bellows. "YOU CAN'T GO THROUGH HERE!!!".

Cue two year old dissolving in a crumpled terrified heap . . . took me 15 minutes to calm him down. Permanent damage almost certainly inflicted.
