Greatest hide-and-seek player EVER!
I just read a story about some police department activity that went on last week in western Pennsylvania. What happened in the town of Greenville was that a toddler did such a good job of hiding during a game of hide-and-seek that the police and firefighters were called. Two-year-old Natalie Jasmer was finally found after an hour of searching, not by police, but by the family dog. The girl had hidden herself in a drawer under the washing machine and fell asleep there.
The part of the article that really got me thinking was the very end: “The little girl told her family she was sorry. Hide-and-seek is now banned in the Jasmer household.” Are you kidding me? The girl apologized, for what? Because nobody could find her? That’s not what should happen. What she should say is, “Um… family? You just got owned at hide-and-seek! I am the greatest kid ever to play this game!!!” It’s not her fault, she was just playing the game the way it should be played. Even the cops couldn’t find her. And they banned the game in the household!? Sounds like somebody’s just embarrassed that they suck at seeking. If I were that family I would demand a rematch.
