Have you ever seen the movie Dirty Rotten Scoundrels? Man, I used to love that movie as a kid. Professional freeloading around a fancy town called Beaumont-sur-Mer.
Well. Cory and I have been "scoundreling" it all around Beaumont-sur-Orem this summer.
And let me tell you something. Don't let anyone ever tell you to stand on your
own two feet and be independent. It's lot of work man! And for what?
So you can look yourself in the mirror? So you can sleep at night?
So when you're out to dinner with people you can grab your wallet and say
"let me get this"?
Turns out, it's much easier to just lurk around and wait for people to give you stuff. For example:
Free Family Pictures.
Jae and Beth and their family came into town (hooray!). Part of their Utah travel
tradition is to hire my ever-talented sister-in-law Jami Broadbent
to take their family pictures. Look how cute this little family is:
Then, you just kind of tag along to the photo shoot and
while the real (paying) family is getting situated....
You just casually jump in for a frame or two. The best part is: no one would ever catch on
to you zoinks-ing free family pictures because if you were going to do that,
you'd all be showered and wearing matching outfits and your son
would NOT be in a dirty monster truck tee.
See? You just like, get free pictures and no one is the wiser.
You can even grab spare kids standing by. See how this works? Free stuff for the taking!
Now. The real coup de grace happens when I send out Jae & Beth's pictures
as our Christmas cards this year with our faces photoshopped in. Whoot!

yeah...faces photoshopped in + 3 extra kids.
I'd say at that point, the joke's really on you!
