Baby Gates Are Useful...

...but only if you use them.

I'm downstairs talking on the phone when lo and behold The Boy comes tearing around the corner. "Unusual of P to bring him downstairs pantless" I thought, "but he is sure cute. Pants are overrated anyways."

Suddenly P comes downstairs clearly flustered. "He climbed down the stairs by himself. I forgot to close the gate."

Oops.
