I've seen her reach up and twist the doorknob. I've seen her open the sideboard, my laptop, reach into my pocket for my phone. I've even watched her take the cabinet locks off and throw them on the Kitchen floor. So it makes sense both logically and developmentally that she would turn her focus towards the local points of egress.
And I need to believe that this is true. I need to believe Leni wasn't too busy to notice. I need to believe Max and Brian didn't leave the front door open during a game. That Roxy's path to a flight of stairs 12 steps high wasn't left completely unobstructed by caprice or indifference. And that the one riser she did fall off of was a warning to stay on our toes.
But mostly, I need to believe that tread pattern on her forehead will go away. Because, Jesus, who wants to go through life looking like that?
