meta - baby stroller in the corner

Another Who’s Who In The Laundry Room celebrity! This fella likes to hang out in the northwest corner of the room, facing, as you can see, the wall.
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Mr. Baby Stroller.
What’s disconcerting here is that Mr. Baby Stroller is pretty consistenly here. Is he merely being stored? Do some parents in the building live on a different floor and prefer not to navigate the elevator? No, that’s ridiculous.
Perhaps the child for whom this stroller had been daily transport has since graduated to parambulation?
Perhaps something more sinister has occurred?
Best not to think about it. It’s not clear, regardless, that the stroller either is or is not part of the swapmeet. I’d speculate that such a distinction is entirely functional: the swapmeet is defined precisely as those things that are taken after being left in the laundry room. Should one of the washing machines turn up missing, voila: the swapmeet has expanded to home appliances.
I’ll keep an eye on this guy and see what happens.

Does parambulation bear the same relationship to perambulation as paratroopers do to troopers?

Yes. Yes it does.
Curse you, spelling hubris!
