Camouflaged Caped Crusader

When I worked at Kohl's the store manager's wife occasionally came in to shop and their 3 year old son would spend time with his Daddy.  Every single time and right on schedule, his son would sneak away and hide from him.  The last thing our manager wanted was his wife to find out that once again he lost their son.  A good number of us wore walkie talkies with ear pieces.  As soon as our fearless leader realized, he would radio 'The boy is on the run again!' and our search would begin.  The orders were 'look, look quickly, try to be discreet, and do not tell the wife!'  The sly toddler was a major Batman fan, and at times would only answer when referred to as Batman.  I can think back to many many puzzled looks and giggles from our valued customers when they caught a glimpse of me hurrying around and looking into various clothes racks quietly calling out "Batman....Batman....Where are you?"
