Contest written by fans!
Update: Contest closed! Michael Johnston will pick his winner in the next week and start drawing up the comic! THANKS so much to everyone for such a fun contest and your great ideas! Stay tuned for the winner!
One of our great Facebook fans asked last night:
Alysha Abbot Herrera: “So I totally think we should have a best BabySteal cartoon idea contest. We could all send our ideas to Michael or Keshia, he could pick the winner, draw the cartoon, and take it to BabySteals when he visits next week. Maybe BabySteals would offer a prize?? There are some super funny Mommies on here!”
So I said, SURE! How fun to have a contest for fans by fans! How about the prize be a fan favorite – 5 pair of Babylegs! So I asked the fans to write a post for the blog announcing the contest, and Alysha and Gale both wrote in with what to write. I couldn’t decide between the two since they were both so great, so here goes! Guest bloggers Alysha and Gale!

If you’re a Babysteals fan, chances are you’ve seen Michael Johnston’s cartoon renderings of Babysteals’ moms and dads (and probably cringed thinking he’d somehow spied on you!). Here’s your chance to be part of the fun! From now until Tuesday, March 9th at Noon MST, post your ideas for Michael’s next cartoon. He’ll choose his favorite and your idea could be featured on the babysteals.com blog. Along with bragging rights, the lucky winner will also receive a 5-pack of Babylegs. Who said addiction can’t be rewarding???

my husband has said that i could build an addition on to the house using ONLY boxes from my on-line shopping habit!
i think a baby-steals fort would be a great cartoon!
Erin Clancy March 6th, 2010 at 7:12 pm - #12637
Have a Mom dressed up in all the babysteals items, babylegs, halo sack, stonz boots (love them and want them for myself
, etc., and baby on the computer with credit card in hand!!
Kristen K. March 6th, 2010 at 7:16 pm - #12638
Babystealers skulking about in shopping plazas, train stations, or neighborhoods looking for free wifi or unsecured wireless networks. Shaking their ipods and netbooks in the air in frustration when no open connections are found. Scrambling to the next potential wifi spot before the steal gets put up.
Nikki March 6th, 2010 at 7:17 pm - #12639
I like Erin’s…..I laughed pretty hard and it’s not even in a cartoon yet. Just the thought though….I like that one!
chana March 6th, 2010 at 7:18 pm - #12640
a lady who doesn’t have a credit card trying to get hold of one so she can steal
Amanda March 6th, 2010 at 7:21 pm - #12641
When I saw this on facebook I had to see what it was about. I was reading through and was getting really excited about the cartoon and the babylegs! I LOVE babylegs! Everyone thinks they are stupid, because my son wears them all the time. “Boys shouldn’t wear those!” So, I thought what about doing some kind of cartoon with the giveaway! What better way to show some love to the babylegs! =)
Lisa Burry March 6th, 2010 at 7:25 pm - #12642
Maybe a cartoon of a working Momma, with no access to the steals at work. She has to make up a new excuse everyday, at 8:55MST, so that she can sneak off to the washroom. She could be hiding out in the stall with her iPhone, and trying to contain her excitement of the steal she just made
Dina March 6th, 2010 at 7:28 pm - #12643
a lady sneaking out in the middle of the night to dig holes in her backyard to hide the babysteals packaging from her husband..
Twila owen March 6th, 2010 at 7:32 pm - #12644
this was inspired by some of all of your stories from the last contest…. but what about a woman in the labour and delivery, in bed, with a laptop on her preggo belly trying to steal between contractions… a clock could show 8:59 and the Dr could be telling her to push and she could be saying “give me a minute”
Cristina March 6th, 2010 at 7:48 pm - #12645
mom in the kitchen logged on to her laptop, iPhone, and her itouch and baby in maitai carrier, lunch cooking (eastern standard time) on the stove alarms going off and mom rushing to get to the steal of the day this is a true story by the way… and baby legs was the steal of the day…
Kristen March 6th, 2010 at 7:59 pm - #12646
Okay…I will give this a shot.
How about a playdate atmosphere, where the mommies are talking about all of their “stealing” or “babystealing” and babies are looking at each other like “aren’t they always telling us not to steal from each other.” Or they could be looking at each other like “if they are stealing babies where are they hiding all of them?”
eliza March 6th, 2010 at 8:12 pm - #12647
What about a mom sitting on a sofa trying to breast feed her baby (who is all dressed in Babysteals and covered with AllyZabba blanket) with a laptop or iPhone in one hand and a credit card in the other hand screaming “Yes,I got it!”
Geri March 6th, 2010 at 8:20 pm - #12648
How about one of mom unloading the packages from the car and “hiding” the goods in the house and then the other half of the cartoon could be her dumping all of the packaging in a dumpster. The caption could be something like “what mom does when dad’s working the late shift”. (I have been known to sneak purchases..particularly babylegs into the laundry so hubby doesn’t notice. So, that’s what inspired the idea.)
Jenn March 6th, 2010 at 8:36 pm - #12650
My husband gets into the steals of the day too. Like today for example I was out shopping and called him to get online in time to see what the steal was and buy it. He was so excited it wasn’t sold out yet and wanted to buy 2 just because they were available. He is currently in the Navy and does the whole submarine thing. I think a cute cartoon would be a dad (or mom, they will soon be on subs too) ordering the driver of a US sub to surface to get internet connection so he could get the steal of the day before it sells out.
Amanda M March 6th, 2010 at 8:49 pm - #12651
Okay i have a sick sense of humor..hope u guys do too but..
how bout a cartoon of a mom with her baby in a wrap or sling you guys have featured, standing on a bridge, on one side of the bridge the laptop with babysteals.com up with one of the POPULAR steals showing..and on the other side the husband. Both the computer and the husband are about to fall off the bridge, and you can clearly see the woman leaning toward saving the laptop & getting the steal..
Kyla Jaspers March 6th, 2010 at 9:11 pm - #12652
Okay here one…There’s a babystealin’ momma leaning over a computer hackers shoulder as he’s franticly trying to hack into the babysteals database, he’s shaking his head as the words “ACCESS DENIED” flashes on the computer screen. The momma is yelling, “Come on I paid you good money to figure out what tomorrow’s steal is going to be!”
chana March 6th, 2010 at 9:19 pm - #12653
a local mom trying to spy to see future steals when she is at local pick-up or a mom with her computer open to google and searching through baby items on line trying to crack the hint for the next day
chana posen March 6th, 2010 at 9:22 pm - #12654
a Utah mom trying to sneak into the warehouse when she comes to local pick-up to see what the future will bring. Or a mom at her computer with piles of baby item catalogues and google trying to crack the hint for the next day
Melissa G March 6th, 2010 at 9:36 pm - #12655
There is a mommy in bed and the clock reads 3:00 in the morning. Baby is in the bassinett asleep next to her tucked under an Ally Zabba blanket. The mommy is wide awake. Her thought bubble reads “Babylegs..Innobaby…no..Halo..no that can’t be it!” The caption would read “Although Sandra was very sleep deprived from her taking care of her teething baby, she couldn’t fall asleep until AFTER she figured out the Babysteals’ hint”.
Heidi Johnstone March 6th, 2010 at 9:42 pm - #12656
So, I have 4 daughters ages 8,5,4 and 1. The older 3 LOVE to shop on the computer and in stores.
What about a cartoon with 4 of us in the kitchen on computers decked out in our half hats, all on laptops and/or iphones. One kid yelling, mom I want kidsteals today, another one yelling I want scrapbook steals and the third child yelling I want babysteals and the mom is on babysteals because it had the best hint for that day. All of them intent on watching the website for what the deal is. Meanwhile the baby is sitting on the ground in her babylegs with food and packages all around her (which she pulled out of the cupboards), chocolate on her face saying: ” I love steal time because I can steal anything out of the cupboard I want!”
Has not happened to us YET, but I can totally see it happening one day:)
Kyla Jaspers March 6th, 2010 at 9:55 pm - #12657
okay the ideas are flowing freely, sorry….
The main captioning over three scenes is
“JRs payment for her ‘steals’”…the first scene is Scott walking in the door after a long days work…JR is there greeting him with a plate of cookies the captioning says, “Monday 19:30H” the next scene is the same but JR has a platter off brownies, and the captioning says, “Tuesday 19:30H” the third scene is the same again but there is baking all over the coffee table, kitchen table, and the counter and with JR wearing a neglige, “Wednesday 19:30H”…oh and in the third scene Scott has a thought bubble, “I ♥ BabySteals”, with a big grin on his face.
Sorry JR! Had to be done!!! We ♥ you!!!
R. Fausett March 6th, 2010 at 10:02 pm - #12658
I laughed so hard reading these ideas.
The setting would be a play date with one mother eyeing another baby’s clothes/babybling. The caption would say ‘Because stealing from other babies is considered morally wrong, mothers turn to BabySteals’.
Gale March 6th, 2010 at 10:55 pm - #12659
In honor of tax season:
“After discovering 90% of her income was spent on Babysteals loot, Melody needed a creative way to recoop the money.”
A mommy sitting in the IRS office and the IRS agent saying, “Ma’am, buying “gifts” from Babysteals for your baby does not qualify as a charitable contribution.”
JR. Hollywood March 6th, 2010 at 11:03 pm - #12660
KYLA you are too funny… I think it’s a great idea, I would frame it in my house!!! But if that is the idea that wins, please make him have a big belly, Because since I’ve started with Babysteals, I’m not the only one “GAINING” in awesome things… his waist line is starting to burst under the pressure!!!
Cathy March 6th, 2010 at 11:04 pm - #12661
Baby inside the house looking out the window, waiting for the next package to arrive with the latest baby steal. Baby gets excited when they see the mail man outside and points to him and says “Da Da”. The baby is so used to seeing the mail man drop off packages everyday and confuses him with daddy who is actually at work.
Cymonda March 6th, 2010 at 11:47 pm - #12662
I second Lisa’s submission because I am that Mama sneaking off to a “meeting” to make sure I don’t miss out.
Simone March 7th, 2010 at 12:28 am - #12663
LOL! Cathy, that is a funny one! There are a lot of funny ones here! Here’s my idea:
Mom and dad are in bed ready to go to sleep.
Mom: Tomorrow’s deal looks like it’ll be BabyLegs.
Dad: Oh really? Does she need some?
Flash to the baby’s room to see the baby covered in BS gear (sleepsac, allyzabba, etc.), the closet and crib underneath overflowing with BS boxes and goods, etc…
Mom: Yes.
This is also a little idea of what goes on here. Lol. Thanks BS for such a wonderful giveaway!
Melanie S March 7th, 2010 at 12:30 am - #12664
Setting: A long line up (going right around the corner of the street) of baby wearing ladies outside of a fortune telling booth in a dark alley. The ladies are holding their cell phones up at every which angle to try and get reception for internet, the ladies that aren’t holding cell phones are juggling laptops.
One lady is sitting behind the curtain with a fortune teller who is looking into a crystal ball. The lady is asking the question, “Do you see Mega Zabbas coming to babysteals anytime soon?”. A thought bubble is coming up from the gypsy that reads, “Day after day I hear the same thing, when will someone come with a new question!”
Ashlyn March 7th, 2010 at 2:13 am - #12665
How many am I allowed to submit?
Three Frame Comic
Pacific Standard Time… my daughter sleeps in
Frame 1:
Husband and wife sleeping soundly in bed. Clock reads “7:55 AM”
Frame 2:
Husband is asleep and the wife is wide awake on the computer checking the steal. Clock reads “8:00 AM”
Frame 3:
Husband and wife are sound asleep. Clock reads “8:05 AM” and the Babysteals page on the computer reads “Sold Out”
Caption: “Some things are worth waking for.”
Ashlyn March 7th, 2010 at 2:16 am - #12666
Wife frantically screaming to husband: “HONEY! HONEY”
Husband entering the scene: “What is it, what’s wrong?”
Wife, now calm, showing husband the computer with Babysteals pulled up: “Do you think I should get this?”
Niki March 7th, 2010 at 2:19 am - #12667
Hmmm…how about a woman tinkering with a crazy looking machine at her her desk right next to her computer. Of course it’s the hint decoding machine! (There was a huge long name for this in the posts but I can’t think of it! Someone help!!!). With the woman saying something like “now if I could only find the batteries!!!”
YJ March 7th, 2010 at 4:01 am - #12668
How about a scenario where if babysteals was a physical store, all us stealers would be fighting each other for the deal of the day – Mega zabbas
– with the end quote saying “thank God for Internet”
B Clifton March 7th, 2010 at 6:10 am - #12669
(Pacific Standard Time)… or whatever time you want to make it.
At 7:59 AM daily, a mom starts to repeatedly hit the “refresh” button on her computer and with great delight a new magic item appears.
After months of “refreshing” she starts to wish the rest of the world worked like Babysteals. She begins to daydreams of the day a “refresh” button will appear on the dog, the house full of chores, her in-laws, even the forehead of her husband!

Many thanks!
HB March 7th, 2010 at 10:37 am - #12673
I’m picturing 3 mom sitting on a park bench holding their babies. Two are baby stealers (decked out in colorful, cute stuff with fancy bags) and one not (her and her babe are just in regular gear). One babystealer whispers to the other “do you think we should tell Cindy about babysteals?” The other replies “Well… I don’t know… Then we would have to compete with 34,187 fans…”
Dana March 7th, 2010 at 2:21 pm - #12674
A mom sitting with her lap top on her lap, land line phone in one hand up to her ear, cell phone squished between her ear and shoulder. Talking into both phones at once, asking ‘did you get it, did you get it?’ As she is frantically typing with the other hand to make sure that she gets the days steal as well.
Gale March 7th, 2010 at 4:00 pm - #12675
The caption: “Lori doesn’t let the fact that she has no kids get in the way of her Baby Steals addiction”. The picture is of her pets decked out in Baby Steals gear and her husband sporting Baby Legs!
Trisha B. March 7th, 2010 at 5:03 pm - #12676
A mom is out running errands and suddenly realizes what time it is. Without noticing the cop behind she speeds to two blocks away to the closest Starbucks with wifi, pulls out her laptop, but all of a sudden there’s a knock on her window. She rolls her window down tells the cop that she’ll be right with him. Continues her steal and then turns to the cop and politely asks “how can I help you?” He hands her a ticket and walks away shaking his head speechless. Or he could walk away saying, “that Babysteals site is making a lot of money for the city.”
Cara Mazzocato March 7th, 2010 at 7:39 pm - #12677
I kinda had the same idea as Trisha except I thought a female police officer could be pulling a mom over for looking at her cell phone( as we are not allowed to do that anymore in Ontario while driving)
when the mom hands her her info the cop could say, I actually noticed you looking at babysteals on you iphone and I need to use that phone to get my steal!!!
Gretchen Turner March 7th, 2010 at 11:23 pm - #12678
Mom with big pregnant belly goes to mailbox. With a sneaky look on her face she pulls out a package labeled Babysteals and puts in her “belly.” Caption is some thing about how now all she needs is a baby having now sneaked all the steals in past her husband.
Marie-Eve March 8th, 2010 at 9:40 am - #12679
LOVING all of these!! you guys are hilarious!
Ok, here’s my entry :
BE CAREFULL WHAT YOU WISH FOR :
‘When Paul the Postman wished to be the most desirable man in the neighborhood, this is NOT what he had in mind’
you see the Postman running away from a mob of moms with his post-bag filled to the rim with Steals (maybe dropping a few while running).
Bethany Schmidl March 8th, 2010 at 9:58 am - #12680
I just wanted to say that you ladies are hilarious! Thanks for the laughs!
Lizzie Ater March 8th, 2010 at 11:09 am - #12681
How about someone driving in their car with their kid or kids with a road sign that says something like: Utah-250 miles and the Mom saying “only 4 more hours kids!!!” and the kids groaning.
Shawna B. March 8th, 2010 at 11:19 am - #12682
This actually happened… My daughter went in to preschool for show and tell. She took one of my babysteal items. She told all her classmates that “Mommy got it from the stealing baby. She goes there every morning to get stuff for me and my baby sister.”
Needless to say, I was a wee bit embarrassed and I hurriedly corrected her “It’s BABYSTEALS.COM, dear.”
JoAnne Custer March 8th, 2010 at 12:21 pm - #12683
Like old tootsie roll commercials: “Everything I think I see become a babysteal to me”
Have a mom walking down the street seeing diaper bags instead of mailboxes, trees with ally zabba polka dots, sprig cars on the street, the street paved in babylegs. etc
Carly March 8th, 2010 at 12:59 pm - #12684
A mom (holding a baby decked in BS gear of course) sitting in front of a computer with the BS warehouse address entered into a map program. The computer reads “3,140 miles to your destination”. The caption reads “Sally realized that the trip to the BS warehouse would be quite the trek, but couldn’t get over what she’d save on shipping!”. Maybe you see the car out a window with luggage waiting to be loaded in?
Alysha Herrera March 8th, 2010 at 1:35 pm - #12685
K, here is mine:
I am picturing a few guys in an office. Maybe one at his desk looking at his wristwatch, breathing into a paper bag. The other standing near him, looking at the wall clock, maybe even patting the one sitting on the back saying “it will be ok, at least BabySteals has a purchase limit of 3″ Then the caption underneath says.. IT’S 9AM MST, DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR WIFE IS?
Jessica M. March 8th, 2010 at 1:36 pm - #12686
What about a line of expecting women, women with small kids ect. at Baby Steals waiting to get in like it is a dance club. Have the line roped off with big bouncer like guys standing at the door. and a woman being taken out by the bouncer saying “I had it first, and she already has 3 anyway, please give me another chance!” or something like that.
Katie Stouffer March 8th, 2010 at 1:43 pm - #12687
A Babysteals mommy get together and all the babis look the same with their babylegs, zabbas, posies, moby hats, and baby banz, and the moms cannot tell their babies apart. Off coarse the moms aren’t all that different with their teething bling, Glamourmom tanks (for nursing moms) and lilac maternity clothes (for those still expecting) with our JJB’s, PPB’s, and dwell bags.
Mandy B March 8th, 2010 at 2:20 pm - #12688
“Baby Steals Rehab” something along the lines of a bunch of women looking incredibly frazzled and unfashionable because they aren’t allowed hair dryers or straighteners or an electronics because they wrecked them all trying to get online to buy stuff?
Or along the bathroom at work line, a tower of 3 women one on top of the other with the top lady holding her phone out the window yelling “It’s babylegs!!!” and the bottom ones screaming ” I need some” “I need two!” or something like that and the bottom two women are straining under the weight of the other women and someone opens the bathroom door and is thinking “What???” With the title “Carrie, Tia and Linda figured out how to get Babysteals at work.This brought a whole new meaning to girls going to the bathroom in groups.”
Gale March 8th, 2010 at 3:17 pm - #12689
A picture of a woman surrounded by Babysteals packages with the heading, “Linda considers herself lucky her husband is so supportive of her Babysteals habit. Little does she know he has dreams of his own..” In the next picture show a man dreaming of football steals (or hockey steals for those Canadian dads).
MandyB March 8th, 2010 at 4:00 pm - #12690
I thought of another one. It’d probably have to be more than one shot though. A husband and wife lying in bed and the man clearly having a bad dream while the wife sleeps comforabtly (you can see her Iphone peeking out from under the pillow) and then his dream is that he’s being chased by his credit cards and a bunch of babylegs, diaper bags, Ally Zabbas, and other bs necessities. And he’s terrifed and yelling, “They’re going to get me!!!”
Carrie Burns March 8th, 2010 at 6:46 pm - #12691
A couple ‘older’ children (my oldest are 5 and 3) standing there with Baby Legs on their arms holding Ally Zabba blankets and any other appropriate steal — mom could be seen sitting behind them at the computer or not in the scene at all — and the caption underneath would read: Martha (or whatever name) was so addicted to babysteals.com that she couldn’t stop buying, even after her kids grew up!
I’ll be posting the photo as soon as I take it =)
Audrey March 8th, 2010 at 8:52 pm - #12692
You should have a mom dreaming about a mega zabba (in a thought bubble) while a hubby is looking at the credit card bill. He gets upset with how much money is spent, so he puts a block on the internet where you can’t log onto the steals network (not telling the wife). Then the next day when the mom tried to log onto all of the steals pages she descovers they are blocked…”oh no, only 5 minutes until the steal” thinks the mom…so she runs over to the neighbors house with the kid in arms to borrow their computer to catch the steal of the day.
This would maybe take 2 cartoons, one as a follow up… but could be a funny one.
Cathy March 8th, 2010 at 11:01 pm - #12693
I have another one. Mom and dad are still in bed. It is 9 am and you see the baby sitting at the computer screen with their hand on the mouse refreshing http://www.babysteals.com.
chana posen March 8th, 2010 at 11:44 pm - #12694
I think we should have one in honor of their great staff like Em J at her computer with 1,000,000 new emails requesting products
Kellie March 9th, 2010 at 3:19 am - #12695
Ok…PST 8:00 am… Mom under sheets…laptop up and running, cell phone in one hand, other hand refreshing computer furiously typing, husband snoring in bed. Wife screams, husband jerks up, asks what is a matter, wife: oh nothing honey, bad dream. Two days later packages arrive… Husband: what’s that… wife: remember that bad dream….
By the way there are some hilarious ideas here, some are all to real.
Fawn March 9th, 2010 at 7:34 am - #12696
A bunch of moms standing outside of a “Steals Anonymous” meeting in line for someone (I guess could be Jana) selling phones from their jacket just before steal time! Inside the room you can see all the husbands trying to get outside while some other moms are holding the door shut.
Thats my idea. . .
Melissa D. March 9th, 2010 at 7:45 am - #12697
One frame comic (In honor of Jana):
In upper left hand corner, the words: “In nurseries throughout North America”. Picture shows babies in a hospital nursery, all lined up, wrapped in their A&A or Zabbas wearing baby legs. Two nurses are attending to the babies. One nurse turns to the other and says, “I don’t know what is going on but this is the eighth baby this week named Jana…(says in a whisper)…but this one is a boy.”
chana posen March 9th, 2010 at 8:02 am - #12698
inspired by Jana’s picture of the steals sign last night… frenzied mothers being attracted to the steals sign like moths to light!
Buckcyncesser March 9th, 2010 at 9:04 am - #12699
Oh thank you!
Beth garduno March 9th, 2010 at 9:52 am - #12700
I totally picture a large group of moms camoed up with face paint in all around teh perimeter of babysteals watching a delivery laying in the woods and storm drains. One womans husband is approaching as a transimision is going through. The watchers transmission on the walker talkies is Alpha Zulu Mike landed in the nest. I repeat Alpha Zulu MIke” Some moms react with tears of joy etc. The husband asks what is alpha zulu Mike and why are you lieing in a sewage pipe. The wife/mom responds “Ally Zabba Megas” in tears. Last comment by the husband “You’re cut off”
Allison March 9th, 2010 at 10:00 am - #12701
I think my morning would make a great cartoon to show the dedication of a hardcore Babystealer…I was up all night sick with food poisoning but am here, a few minutes before 11 am Eastern time, sipping a glass of my baby’s Pedialyte and hoping for a good steal to cheer me up.
Carolyn March 9th, 2010 at 10:23 am - #12702
Mom at the kitchen table with various Babysteals around her, flipping through pages of a contract, laptop next to her and holding her phone. She’s unhappy and her husband is nearby just shrugging his shoulders.
Caption, “Jennifer (random name) still can’t believe not being able to steal from her Blackberry is not a valid reason to cancel her contract”
Stephanie March 9th, 2010 at 11:12 am - #12703
We actually have 2 computers side by side one is for our little boy to play on so he doesn’t mess ours up. For a cartoon I can totally picture a mom at the computer on babysteals and her child sitting on the computer next to her on the same website. I picture the mom with a big smile and the dad standing in the background with his head in his hands.
Nikki March 9th, 2010 at 11:34 am - #12704

A VERY pregnant woman and her husband are in the nursey, trying to assemble the crib. The only problem is, there is NO room at all for the crib because of all the Babysteals packages piled ceiling high everywhere you look.

Working mom gets a call from her stay at home husband. “Honey we got another package.” Can I open it he asks with excitement. (in a thought bubble he is excited to think it is a new surprise electronic from his thoughtful wife). She says sure knowing it is an awesome new babysteal! He opens it and realizes it is something else for the baby. He then tells his wife he hopes the house sells soon so we have room for all the baby steals!…..sadly this is all a true scenerio!

My mail lady must hate me….she literally backs up to my driveway in her mail truck and dumps the items in front of the garage. I sure love Baby Steals, but I know one lady who sure doesn’t. The back of her mail truck is filled with packages to me!

Another comic idea is to have a long line of mail trucks at a ladiesd house with steal packages busting out of the side. The caption could say : signs your stealing has gotten out of hand

These are all so great!
This one is pretty true for me…
Hubby waiting at dr. to get his vasectomy reversal “I thought you didn’t want anymore babies?!?” Wife says “That was before I found babysteals.com!!!”

A noisy neighbour got one ear stuck to the wall listening in to the conversation next door. In the other hand she is holding a phone and in a bubble it reads: I’m telling you officer, you need to investigate this woman. everyday at 9 she screams to her husband – Another steal in the bank honey and the husband to respond – Soon we will need to rob a bank!!!
Babysteal could get you in trouble but it’s so worth it.

Classroom setting on the chalk board it says “Stealology 101″ All women in the classroom are very pregnant. The instructor says “Now for the most impotant lesson Steal first think later” Student “What if I need to think” Instructor: “Then you spend months in pity and self doubt over losing such a good steal” Caption: “it is better to have stolen and resold than to never have stolen at all”

I’m in MST, but this makes more sense in PST which means steal time is 11 am, right?
It’s 10:59 am PST. View of the freeway/road from inside of a car driven by a man. There are a bunch of cars pulled off to the side of the road in all crazy directions. The man’s thought bubble reads, “There shouldn’t be much traffic at this time. What’s going on?”
Alternately, it’s 8:59 am MST. The man’s driving down the an empty freeway. Caption reads, “Rush hour ceased to exist every since the creation of the Steal Network.”
…(this worked a lot better in my head)…

(All of these are so funny!)
Husband comes home to wife packing.
Him “what’s going on?”
Her “We are moving to Utah! I’ve already found you a job – It’s for less money, but think of all we will save on shipping!”

Taken from one of my visions of how the next c-section will be:
Pregnant woman is sitting in the operating table leaning over for a spinal, holding iphone, glancing anxiously at the clock that is getting dangerously close to 9am
Woman nervously asks the doctor, “are you sure I’ll still be able to move my hands during the operation?”
