“Bill, the party starts at two. We go in as magicians.” “Molly, you cannot do magic.” “I can make a cake disappear.” “That’s eating. Last time you called it a vanishing act, the birthday boy cried.” “He cried because you pulled a rabbit from his hat.” “It was his hamster. And it was already in there.” “We hide every stolen present in the giant cake. I ordered the largest size. The baker asked whether I was marrying a horse. I said it was none of her business.” “The cake you intend to eat?” “I’ll eat around the boxes.” “And the parents?” “We tell them we’re from the council, inspecting gift wrapping for safety.” “That sounds less believable than magic.” “Then we arrive dressed as presents.” “How do we see?” “Eyeholes.” “How do we walk?” “Leg holes.” “How do we explain two presents picking up the other presents?” “Group project.” “Molly, these children are going to catch us.” “Not if we bring party bags.” “What’s in them?” “Our business cards.” “You printed business cards for thieves?” “No. They say ‘Professional Clowns.’” “That’s worse.” “Exactly. Nobody suspects clowns.” “Everybody suspects clowns.” “Then why do people invite them?” “Bill, I honestly have no idea.”
