Molly stared at the party through binoculars shaped like flamingos while Bill rehearsed his evil laugh in the passenger seat. "Okay, Operation Birthday Bandit is officially a go," she announced. Bill replied, "First we distract the parents with my legendary balloon animal skills," Molly said, "You don't have skills, Bill, you have one deflated giraffe and a lawsuit from a clown college." Bill grinned, "Perfect, nobody will notice when we swap the real presents for my expired coupons." Molly whispered, "We need a code word for when Brenda the mommy blogger starts filming us for her vlog." Bill said, "If she films, I'll just do the worm and claim we're hired entertainment." Molly said, "You tried that at the library and they called security plus a priest." Bill said, "The priest was impressed by my commitment to the bit, though." Outside, children chased a piñata shaped like a unicorn while a dad manned the grill wearing an apron that read King of Burgers. Molly said, "Rule one, we don't touch the cake because last time you ate the evidence." Bill said, "Rule two, if anyone asks our age, we say we're twins celebrating our twenty-first together." Molly said, "Bill, you are forty-three and you cried during the opening credits of Shrek." Bill said, "Shrek taught me about love, Molly, and also about ogres stealing princesses." Molly said, "Fine, but we are not stealing the bouncy castle again, it cost us three hours and a tow truck." Bill said, "Agreed, we stick to presents, preferably the big shiny ones that look expensive in photos." Molly said, "I counted forty-seven gifts on that table, which means forty-seven new toys for my nephew if we win." Bill said, "Your nephew is twenty-six and owns a kayak, Molly, he does not need a plastic dinosaur." Molly said, "He will love it emotionally, Bill, stop ruining the fantasy with your facts." A balloon popped near the fence and both thieves ducked dramatically behind a cooler full of juice boxes. Bill said, "We move at three, when the parents are busy watching the magician pull a rabbit from a hat." Molly said, "You mean the magician who is actually your cousin Steve in a cape?" Bill said, "Steve has range, Molly, last week he made a pigeon disappear at a wedding." Molly said, "Steve made the best man's wallet disappear and now he's banned from three venues." Bill said, "Details, details, we just need to grab and go before the singing starts." Molly checked her watch and then checked the gift table again through the flamingo binoculars. Molly said, "Alright, if this works, we split everything fifty-fifty and buy matching jackets." Bill said, "And if it fails, we blame the clown college and run toward the sprinklers." Molly said, "On three, we become best absolute legends of this whole neighborhood, partner, deal?" Bill nodded solemnly, tightened his clown nose, and pointed toward the presents as the magician finally pulled a rubber chicken from his sleeve instead.
