Espionage, Elementary school style

So "She" was having friends sleep over. "He" went out to dinner with a Friend, Friend's dad, and Mr. C.

The guys came back and were chilling at our barstools. Well, the dads were...the boys vanished.

Soon I heard the beep of two way radios. They were spying on the girls. I believe their goal was to figure out how to set a radio to keep broadcasting, for eavesdropping of course, and implant it in the target zone. There is a plan that I recovered from the trash - an index card with a sketch of locations for motion sensor alarms, and "where we will hide".

That didn't work (one of the girls noticed a sensor) and so they retreated to their command post, where they commenced the lowtech plan B, listening through the heat ducts to the girl's fortress next door.

"MOM! They're listening through the heat vent". I went to mediate and heard His Friend say "no we're not".... through the heat duct. It really was hysterical.

Son could not understand why he was banished to sleep at Friend's house. Hmmm.

Totally awesome - only thing that would have been better is if the plan had been on graph paper, and indicated location of dragons and guard towers.

Things will get better... right?

I distinctly remember a day in... maybe February?  I remember the moment, but not what day it was. I was sitting at work thinking about plan...
