Title: The Diaper Division

Detective Riley was on the case. The crime scene: the kitchen floor. The evidence: a puddle of spilled milk and a missing cookie. baby play comic work

Riley, age 14 months, pulled himself up to the counter using his diaper as a utility belt. He consulted his partner, a stuffed bear named Mr. Whiskers.

"Ga ba da?" Riley asked. (Translation: Any leads?)

Riley crawled toward the suspect: The Family Dog. The Dog looked guilty. He was licking his lips.

Riley knew what he had to do. It was dirty work, but someone had to do it. He reached into his diaper, retrieved a half-eaten mushy carrot, and lobbed it at the Dog.

Thwack.

Direct hit.

"Case closed," Riley babbled, rolling onto his back. Solving crimes was tiring work. He decided to take a nap until his next shift started in twenty minutes.
