- dad would lie on the sofa, half asleep with the golf game on the television (note: early exposure to televised golf is why i can put up with sean's music repeating itself over and over again. because there is almost nothing more boring than televised golf. except televised poker. anyway, i digress)
- child would come up to my father and say, "Grandpa, i'm going to hide in the closet in your room."
- dad would nod and say 'okay.'
- child would run off and hide.
- dad would lie there for a while, watching another ten minutes of golf, shouting every so often 'i'm trying to find you!' and half-heartedly looking behind the sofa and under throw cushions
- and then eventually either my dad would go back and 'find' him or (more frequently) the kid would come out and say 'i was hiding in your closet!' and my dad would say 'oh! that's a good hiding place, i didn't find you.'
this went on for at least a year. it was hilarious.
