Do you remember
playing hide and seek as a child? The goal was to find the best hiding spot where
no one would think to look for you. My teen still plays hide and seek, only it’s
with his clothes.
My son seems
to be spilling over with creativity lately. I asked him to clean his room
before he could go to a movie with friends. When I inspected the room,
everything appeared neat and orderly.
It wasn’t
until the next day that I discovered my son had moved items out of his room
instead of putting them away. As I was putting away throw blankets in a closet
we don’t use every day, I made a discovery. A small heap of clothes that should
have been folded and put away, lay dormant in the spot where spare blankets are
kept.
I folded the
t-shirts and paired the socks the best I could, others I left stray. I tiptoed
into my sons’ bedroom while he slept and stuffed the items into random drawers.
If the drawers were organized by socks, underwear and t-shirts, I couldn’t
tell.
It has been
two days since the game of hide and seek that my son didn’t know we were
playing. He hasn’t made any indication that he noticed the clothes are back in
his room AND put away. I don’t think my son realizes that I’ve been playing
hide and seek longer than he has.
What happens
when a teen plays hide and seek? He can’t outsmart his mom.
What’s
tickling your funny bone today?
