Baby Proof

There is no such thing as truly baby-proof.

All "baby proof" means is that sharp knifes have been

removed from the area, that outlets have been

and that there's no trace of light-colored carpet for several miles.

for it's apparently irresistibly tempting to sit on a dog's head.

And from what I hear the trouble has just begun.
