Toads-in-the-Hole

Last August, I made the first child-related purchase of my pregnancy at a neighborhood garage sale: a jogger's stroller. Although Adelaide was the size of a pinhead when I traded $20 for the slightly-used, only-moderately dusty pram, in my mind's eye I flashed forward to this day ... A beautiful, seventy-degree afternoon with a gentle north-northeast wind blowing through the newly budding trees as we shake winter's cobwebs from our bones with a walk in the park.

What leaves our family puzzled is the slogan "5K" printed on the side of Adelaide's stroller ... Is the stroller intended specifically for 5K races? Is one supposed to stroll a baby at 5 kilometers per hour? Maybe it is a reference for the legendary Cabal of Five that rules the underworld, consisting of John F. Kennedy (of the 35th presidency), Ken (of Ken and Barbie), Kenny Rodgers (of Islands in the Stream fame), Omar Khayyam (of the Rubaiyat), and Madeline Kahn (of filmic persuasion)? One can only guess ...
