Something is Amisssss in Babyland

Something has happened somewhere in Babyland and all of the nurses put together have not been able to figure out what it is. But they know something's been done - something not right - because all of the babies are hiding when called. When found, they look sheepish. So far, Horowitz is claiming the 2nd. (That's the Babyland ammendment that states that any baby capable of defending other babies in court doesn't have to say anything even if he or she knows exactly what happened because it might come up later in an issue of attorney / client priviledge. This ammendment was ratified shortly before the missing shoe mystery was discovered to have happened.)
When babies break the rules, the nurses can tell because they all get a peculiar expression on their soft sweet faces of waiting to be caught. Please see the following example:

The Bakery is strangely devoid of patrons and the Library is filled with stage whispers of babies hidden in the shelves of picture books and behind the puppet stage.
This reporter took the liberty of placing a mini tape recorder inside one of the puppets and was able to discern the following discussion between two unknown little ones:
"They took it. Why are we hiding?"
"They said they'd frame us if we told."
"But what does that mean?"
"I don't know. But I don't want it."
"Did they eat it?"
"Yes."
"Did they share it?"
"No."
"What's this?"
"A tape recorder."
"Did they put it there?!"
"Don't even touch it!!"
"We must run!"
The soft sound of baby bare feet running away followed.*

Well, whatever was taken, we know that "they" ate it. And I, for one, hope it was edible.
Updates will be forthcoming as information becomes available.

*Note: if anyone has any information regarding the disappearance of my tape recorder within the past few minutes while I was writing this article, please contact the offices of the Babyland Gazette. You know who you are. Baby Trudy.
