Because it is there

George Mallory would understand.

James’ ongoing cognitive leap continued yesterday with him climbing onto the most annoying toy in the universe (note the duct tape required to keep the legs on a toy he can’t do without, much to my chagrin) to get at the TV (perhaps to stop Rachel Coleman from singing again).

He later repeated this operation with a sock in his mouth. Why a sock in his mouth? No idea; Mallory never mentioned that part.
