Yes, that is what my daughter said, &#8220;repo man.&#8221;  In this picture, the repo man has come to take the family baby.  Note the evil moustache and pleased expression on the villain, as well as the open O mouth of alarm on the mother and, I assume, father.  Oh, the humanity!<\/p>\n<p><i>ETA: I found a news story about the flashing.  They got the time wrong by a good hour, and they spelled my kid&#8217;s school name wrong. I e-mailed.
