Attention, baby!

Oh no, what what happened? Yesterday, a beautiful young girl came to our house to look for the baby. She did everything that she could do to entertain the child, it: she played with it, she sang songs for it, etc. But the baby attacked her, tore her apart, devoured her and the remainings it threw through the window. What to do, what to do? I don't know, really. And for now, we keep the affair silent thus, to keep the police away (from) starting asking annoying questions.
