Molly stared at the laminated invitation like it was a classified dossier from the Pentagon. It is pink, Bill. It has glitter. Glitter is a security hazard. It sticks to everything. It is forensic evidence. We are not casing a high-security Swiss bank, Molly. It is a bouncy castle. Stop overthinking it. I am not overthinking, I am assessing threat levels. What is the threat level of a seven-year-old high on Capri Sun and birthday cake? Extremely high if you step on their juice box. But we are here for the loot. The pristine, wrapped-in-shiny-paper loot. Do you even know what is in those boxes, Bill? It could be socks. It could be educational wooden blocks that teach basic geometry. We are professional criminals, not kindergarten teachers. Professional is a strong word for two people who once tried to fence stolen lawn flamingos to a blind gardener. And trust me, these boxes are heavy. I shook one. Something mechanical rattled. It is either a remote-controlled helicopter or a terrifyingly complex Lego set. Either way, I want to play with it. You want to steal a child's joy for personal entertainment? I want to flip a high-value toy on the black market to pay our outstanding bar tab. There is a difference, and it is called capitalism, Molly. Now, check the perimeter. Are the parents distracted? Uncle Gary is currently trapped inside a butterfly costume and weeping near the cooler because a toddler hit him with a plastic baguette. The coast is entirely clear. Then synchronize your watches. On my mark, we execute Operation Cupcake. I am not saying Operation Cupcake out loud, Bill. It sounds ridiculous. Fine, operation stealth piñata. Go. They crept across the manicured lawn of suburban cul-de-sac misery, ducking behind inflatable slides and dodging rogue soap bubbles. Bill reached the towering pile of gift-wrapped packages first, his eyes gleaming with the predatory focus of a raccoon eyeing an open dumpster. He grabbed a massive box wrapped in neon green dinosaurs. Wait, put that one down, Bill. That is addressed to little Timmy from his grandmother. It probably contains hand-knitted sweaters. Go for the silver one with the holographic bow. That screams expensive electronics bought by a guilty corporate executive father. Good call. Hand me the burlap sack. Don't drop the juice boxes on your way out. I refuse to be caught because you stepped on a stray Capri Sun and wiped out in front of a petting zoo. I am graceful, Molly. I am a phantom of the night. You just knocked over the pin the tail on the donkey poster. That was a tactical distraction. Move!
