why animals eat their young

My mom, dad and I went to Colorado when I was very young. We drove up into a mountain, parked and walked around. My dad walked to the edge and jumped off. I screamed. Turned out there was more land, just a bit lower. I think my mom was mad.

Sales are going to fall off a cliff

No. the fake hands gag will be headed down towards the Colorado River. Of course, if they are waterproof and float, they can cause still more mischief down there…

Sure, it’s all fun and games until mom falls over the edge trying to save him.

At this particular moment, Bleeb is very upset about being locked in the vehicle!

Genius!

I checked both gift shops… North Rim and South Rim… they’re still available! ツ

PITA is on their way. Someone called them about Bleeb being left in the car with all the windows up.

There is a secondary market for those hands at the bottom of the cliff. A brilliant entrepreneur is selling ‘slightly used’ fake hands to be placed in the lid of your car trunk.

Before I read the caption I thought their mobile device was evolving into their child!

Most folks nowadays would go to extreme lengths to save their mobile app which they clutch onto and caress more often than they speak to or hug their family members.
