It's Me, I'm Alex. And now for a really quick mystery. An expectant mother was at the mall, browsing the baby section and looking for the perfect Christmas gift for her upcoming bundle of joy. She found a really awesome dinosaur figurine and headed to check out. Suddenly, she realized that her purse was missing. She frantically searched the store and asked the other customers if they had seen it, but it was nowhere to be found. In a panic, she rushed to the mall's Lost and Found and asked the attendant if her purse had been turned in. The attendant directed her to a back room, where she could look through the items that had been dropped off. In the back room, she found her purse sitting on a table. But it was much heavier than she remembered. She looked inside and gasped in shock. There was a tiny newborn baby inside, swaddled in a blanket. She was even more shocked to find that her pregnant belly was now flat. Defying all logic, the baby began to speak. “Hello, I am your child and I am a magic baby,” it said. “My father was a secret wizard. He entrusted me to you because he knew you would protect me from the dangers of the world.” The woman was speechless. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. The baby went on to explain that it had been sent to her to save the world from an impending evil. It told her that she was the only one who could protect it, and that if she did not, the world would be in great peril. The woman was overwhelmed with all the questions she had, but the baby had answers to all of them. He explained to her that there were others like him and that she would soon meet them. She was relieved to know that she was not alone in this new journey. Suddenly she heard a man's voice behind her. "I am the wizard who bestowed upon you this magical baby," the voice said. "Please take good care of him, he will save the world." She turned around and recognized the man. It was her husband. Before she could say anything, the wizard vanished in a puff of smoke. He was never seen again.
