Molly unrolled the blueprint across Bill’s kitchen table, pinning one corner with a mug and the other with a suspicious sausage. The drawing showed a bouncy castle, three picnic tables, and a cupcake tower guarded by Aunt Linda. “We enter as clowns,” Molly said. Bill adjusted his wig. “I said I’d wear the wig, not develop inner sadness.” “Focus. All presents go in cake boxes. We leave during musical statues.” “And if a child challenges me?” “You lose gracefully.” Bill studied the blueprint. “Why is the getaway vehicle a pony?” “Because you spent our van money on glitter cannons.” “Remember,” Molly said, “no crying, no biting, and no making balloon animals. Last time, you got attached to a giraffe and we lost the jewels.” “That giraffe understood me,” Bill said. “Also, the jewels were inside him, so technically my method worked.” Outside, a kazoo announced the party next door. Molly grabbed the sacks; Bill grabbed the sausage. They reached the fence just as twenty children turned toward them, silent and staring. Bill whispered, “New plan?” Molly sighed. “Yes. We surrender and demand cake instead.” Behind them, the pony sneezed. Cannons fired. Aunt Linda screamed. Glitter erupted. “Run gracefully,” said Bill.
