I remember when I was pregnant with my first – a friend with a toddler shared how she finally found her lost car keys, inside the heater vent in her living room. At the time I thought that was hilarious, naive mom-to-be that I was. What I know now is that all new parents should have to take a crash course in content security to figure out how to safeguard their household belongings from baby ninjas.
Baby ninjas have a multitude of ways to hide your things, you see. Not only are they closer to the ground than the rest of us, thereby finding places to hide objects that we’d never think of, they also have several places to hide local stored objects that are not especially attractive to look though (diaper hunt anyone?) I know more than one friend who can tell a story about the things found in their baby’s diaper (aside from er…the usual.)
The unfortunate thing is that, baby ninjas happen to be very cute so there’s no way to eliminate them (and their chubby faced friends) from visiting your house. Maybe we need to figure out some sort of signature validation among babies so we can determine which chubby baby hand was on the remote the last time it was seen in the household.
Until then, keep your keys, remote controls, and cell phones close by – a baby ninja has his eye on it. Right. This. Minute.
