Hide And Seek With James

Published by Toronto Mike on February 25, 2005 @ 18:17 in Family

James is a big fan of hide and seek. The first thing he wanted to do when I got home today was play a few rounds. He's pretty good at it, but there's one fatal flaw with his strategy.

When I'm pretending I can't find him, I often think call aloud "Where are you James?" or think aloud "I wonder where James is". At this point, without failure, he'll bellow out his exact location. "I'm in Michelle's closet" or "I'm under my covers" or whatever the case may be.

I've tried explaining to him that the objective is to not be found and revealing his specific whereabouts is directly opposed to this objective but he doesn't care. He's totally cool with it.

I'm starting to suspect he wants to be found.
