Info from Licensor: "We had some visitors. We woke up to their pool party, birdseed snacking, and 15-foot deck climbing. I think the cub wanted to come inside to hang out, but his momma wasn’t in the mood to deal with his mischievousness at 4 am. I thought the momma would come from around the walkway to find him, I never thought she’d scale our front deck. Little cub popped the girls’ blowup pool and they didn’t even bother to clean up their mess on their way out. Guess I should have gotten the fire pit going for them if I were a good host. Mom’s reaction in my head played out as ‘Let’s go, I have told you a hundred times not to bother people while we’re raiding their house for goodies. We have to be silent. I’ve told you this. Why can’t you seem to listen? I had to climb 15 feet up a pole to rescue your little butt. Get off their deck now.’"
