The Heist



It's morning and a quiet babbling can be heard through the baby monitor. Eventually it gets louder and Dad goes in to check it out.

Dad: "What's all the  hubbub bub?"

Bill: "We're planning a heist."

Dad: "We?"

Bill: "Yeah. Me and my gang. My enforcer and right hand man Foxy Fox. My driver and lookout Doggy Dog. And Moosey Moose, my accountant."

Dad: "Moosey Moose is your accountant?"

Bill: "Of course. His real name is Moishe Moose Epstein. He tallies up the loot and keeps The Man off our backs. You gotta have an accountant if you are going to have a big time organization."

Dad: "I suppose that makes sense, but it sounded like there was a little trouble on the monitor. What's wrong?"

Bill: "Yeah well there was a little disagreement on the next job. I wanted to go after the cookie stash on the fridge but Doggy Dog thought we should set our sights on the remote control."

Dad: "Did you guys do a list of pros and cons?"

Bill: "Not as such. Doggy Dog got a little pushy with me and Foxy jumped in and said he would cut him if he didn't back off."

Dad: "Whoa! That's a little violent!"

Bill: "Yeah. Doggy and Foxy have been binge watching The Wire on Netflix. That's why Doggy wants the remote in the first place."

Dad: "Well we won't be having any more of that! I'll get you some cookies, Bill, but I'm blocking the Netflix account!"

Dad goes off to get cookies.

Bill: "Wow. It worked."

Moosey Moose: "I told you it would. Parents are silly. The Wire isn't on Netflix. Besides, there aren't even any Muppets on that show. DISINTERESTED! "

Foxy Fox: "Yeah. We'll probably get to watch double the amount of Sesame Street now to 'deprogram' us."

Bill: "Well it would have been nice to have the remote so we could skip the stupid Abby's Flying Fairy School segments, but we got what we wanted."

Doggy Dog: "Say, doesn't your dad have a remote control app on his phone?"

Bill: "Gentlemen... we have work to do."
