Molly and Bill hid behind the garden shed, watching balloons bob above the fence while birthday cake candles flickered in the distance. They had studied the party for hours, noting the treasure table stacked high with wrapped boxes, stuffed animals, and glossy toys no child could possibly need all at once. Bill adjusted his fake mustache and practiced looking innocent, which mostly involved blinking slowly and smiling at nearby adults. Molly checked her watch, doodled a map on a napkin, and marked escape routes through the flowerbeds, past the sandbox, and around the enormous inflatable dinosaur that terrified the dog. They agreed the plan was flawless, except for the clown, the magician, the piñata, and approximately forty children armed with cake and suspicion. Molly whispered, "We wait until the clown distracts everyone." Bill replied, "Then we grab every present quietly and tiptoe out." Molly said, "Perfect, begin tonight, Bill." Bill nodded, until the music stopped suddenly and every child stared toward the gate, because the principal had arrived carrying a leaf blower and unfortunately, her own nephew's birthday hat. Meanwhile, Bill balanced three juice boxes on his head while Molly rehearsed a cheerful song about sharing and leaving presents alone.
