Master Jedi Bacon Bandit: The Aussie Jedi Story of Olive

In honor of May the 4th, we’re retelling the Aussie Jedi story that made our Olive a legend —
the infamous bacon caper that forever sealed her place as our family’s very own Master Jedi.

The Setup: Bacon, Paper Towels, and a Busy Morning

It was a typical busy school morning — the usual dash to find shoes, check backpacks, and get everyone out the door.
Breakfast, including a plate of glorious bacon, sat safely (or so we thought) on the kitchen counter,
layered carefully between paper towels.

The Missing Aussie and Growing Suspicion

As I hunted for a missing Thomas the Train shoe, I noticed something unusual:
my constant furry shadow was missing.

Highly suspicious.
But there wasn’t time to investigate.
Shoes first. Bacon later.

The Master Jedi Heist Revealed

With everything finally gathered and somewhat in order,
I headed back toward the kitchen —
and found Olive sitting in the doorway, calmly licking her whiskers with a proud little grin.

I reached for a piece of bacon.
Lifted one paper towel layer — nothing.
Another — nothing.
Another — still nothing.

Each layer was perfectly stacked.
Perfectly undisturbed.
As if the bacon had simply vanished.

It wasn’t just theft.
It was a precision heist — a Jenga-level extraction worthy of a true Jedi Master.

After a few confused questions to the kids, the truth became obvious:

Olive had eaten every last piece.

Not only had she stolen the bacon,
she had done it with such skill, such stealth,
that not one paper towel was out of place.

Honestly, part of me was impressed.
The other part was just…hungry.

Moral of the Story (and a Gift for You)

If your Aussie suddenly abandons your side —
trust the Force, and check the kitchen.
