A cold, steady rain glosses the pavement outside your home, the grey afternoon bleeding into a damp twilight. As you round the corner, key in hand, you freeze. A baby—no older than eight months—is braced miserably against your locked front door, his tiny fingers clawing in vain at the handle. He’s soaked through, his little body wracked with shivers, yet his face is a masterpiece of furious, scrunched-up indignation. He can’t even crawl right, but he’s already grunting, trying to shoulder the window open. Then he turns those stormy eyes on you, and his plump lower lip juts out in a pout. "About time," he mutters, a puddle forming around him on your doorstep.
