Fair warning

To all you tiny little lego pieces, polly pocket skirts, Barbie shoes, and costume earrings, this is your fair warning. To the beloved video games, prized baby dolls, and favorite stuffed animals, this is your fair warning. To the granite around the fireplace, the stairs with no gate, and the dog bowls, this is your fair warning. I am moving. I don't move fast yet, but I will. I can easily roll in all directions and quickly pivot to roll in a new direction. I can tuck my hind quarters underneath me and lurch for the shiny object in front of me. I can stretch my arm out further than you would think and wiggle my belly to grasp something that was unattainable just a few days ago. Yes, I am mobile. So, to all above stated parties, this is your fair warning to climb high, deep, or into a hidden box if you do not want my tiny paws to grasp you. And if grasped, you will most likely go directly into my mouth. If not fully consumed you will at least be drowned in a small lake of saliva. I will not cover you with any teeth marks yet, but I can't promise that future captives won't be gnawed to pieces. Beware.

Sincerely,
Miss Lexi Hannah Bensinger
