The neighbors have a baby living with them from time to time (I am not sure of the situation), and it’s just starting to become mobile enough that leaving it outside for more than a second is becoming unwise.

I know this, because their back door is directly next to our bedroom window and while I can’t see over the fence, I can hear a lot and I just heard the woman exclaim very loudly, “Oh, honey, no don’t–!” followed by a weary sigh and then, “Well, you’re an outside baby now. Hope you enjoyed central heating…”

The baby’s just laughing, shriekingly unrepentant at whatever just happened. Good for them.
