Ben's First Heist!

Many residents of well to do neighborhoods consider me to be a suspicious looking character.

Having a baby with you pretty much automatically makes you look less suspicious.

With that in mind, I took Ben on his first heist today. The two of us were getting out of the house, driving around, when I saw a log in need of liberation. I parked the car near it, helped Ben out of the car, and sized it up as we started our walk. I was seen by several people taking my beautiful infant son for a walk on a sunny day. There was smiling, and stick carrying, and being upset that sticks are not acceptable chewing material. We returned to the car, perhaps a little upset about the stick incident, and I helped Ben back into his seat. I then helped the log into the car. And with a quiet "yoink," I hopped in the car and took us home.
