The 12 y.o.: Mom! There’s a large black SUV parked across the street next door. And now a guy in a suit and sunglasses is taking pictures. I think he’s from the FBI. I mean who else wears a suit during the day. I wonder what the FBI wants with our neighbors?
The Mom: Or maybe he’s a Realtor and he’s taking pictures because they are putting their house on the market?
The 12 y.o.: Oh yeah, I didn’t think of that. That would make sense. But I like my version better.
