“Okay, Bill, what’s the plan?” “Simple, Molly. We sneak in during the cake cutting.” “Are you sure? Kids love cake. They’ll be watching!” “Exactly! They’ll be too busy with frosting to notice us.” “What if they notice?” “Then we just distract them!” “With what? A balloon animal?” “Hey, it worked last time!” “Right, but that was a nursing home.” “Same principle, just lower stakes.” “Lower stakes? You want to get caught stealing toys at a birthday party!” “Look, all I’m saying is think of the prize—” “Prize? More like punishment! You try running from a seven-year-old with a Nerf gun.” “Fine! We switch tactics. We’ll go in as party clowns!” “Clowns? Bill, you know I’m terrified of clowns.” “Just do what I do: goofy wig, big shoes, and—wait for it—a honking nose!” “Yeah, nothing suspicious about that. ‘Hey kids, we’re here to steal your toys!’” “Not if we do it right! We’ll grab the gifts while they’re playing pin the tail on the donkey!” “Guess who’d get pinned?” “Okay, tough crowd. What do you suggest?” “Uh, we pretend we're lost and need a map?” “To where?” “Uh… to the toy store!”
