Parenting is hard. We're out here trying to childproof everything. Corners at tables, electrical sockets, pet water bowls, our own emotional overwhelm. It's easy to get overwhelmed by tiny humans. You're somehow responsible for not messing up. It's nice to know you're not alone, though. We've been there. I'm Tori Phantom. And I'm Gwen to Lankland and we host Childproof.

Your eyes scan up, past the giant claws, up the reptilian scales,

all the way to a jagged, toothy mouth, glowing bright with radioactive energy.

It's as tall as the tallest skyscraper. You and the other bystanders freeze in shock,
