It’s December 1st, and somewhere in your house a small, felt-clad dictator with an unblinking smile and suspiciously limber limbs has just been unpacked from last year’s Christmas box. You gave it a name (something “cute” like Jingle McSparkles or Missy), propped it on a shelf, and told the kids it's Santa’s personal surveillance drone.
By day it’s frozen in cheerful innocence. By night it zip-lines across the kitchen on dental floss, pouring flour all over the counters for making snow angels, photobombs the nativity scene, or stages elaborate crime scenes with Barbie as the victim. Children love it. Pets despise it. Parents, perhaps, are on the fence.
