So about 20 minutes ago, the kids started playing hide-and-seek.
Abby's got a friend over, and Cora was asleep, so it was the two girls, Alex and Lee. (They actually let him play!) After a couple of go-rounds, it was Lee's turn. He dutifully hid his face in the couch with minimal peeking and counted his own 4-year-old way, then took off to find everyone else.
He's not a very good finder.
He looked all over downstairs, then proceeded upstairs. A couple of minutes later Abby, her friend Sheri and Alex came back down to find new hiding spots. I told them that it's cheating to move your hiding spot, but they did it anyway. Ab & Sheri are in the crowded under-stairs water heater closet; Alex found a cramped little nook by the filing cabinet.
Judging by the amount of time that it's taken for him to come downstairs and by the happy sounds of a wakey baby, Lee got distracted and is happily playing with Cora. So the older kids cheated and are now abandoned in their hiding spots.
Serves 'em right.
Cheaters, Cheaters!!!
ReplyDeleteMy poor mother had to witness rounds of Hide & Seek between my sister and I.
Those usually started with my sister finding me simply by hearing me breathe.
And ended when my sister would yell, "I'M RIGHT HERE, I'M IN THE CURTAINS. YOU JUST WALKED PAST ME!" and I'd continue to search for her... ;)
