Robert Thurston imagines his challenging but delightful Mischief as a day in the life of a toddler—their herky-jerky first steps; their mercurial moods; their blissful naptime dreams of butterflies, unicorns, and magical super-powers—and most of all, their wide-eyed, innocent-yet-impish happiness and curiosity. Mischief is the ecstatically playful dance of a little human who is loving every minute of being alive and awake, and having the best day ever!
