Hiding in Plain Sight

Uncle Larry counted down: “… three, two, one. Ready or not, here I come!” They were playing hide-and-seek. Donny loved this game, loved it best when Uncle Larry played with him.

Running across the park, Donny stopped behind the metal art sculpture, not wanting to hide too hard. The sooner he was found, the sooner Uncle Larry would lift Donny up, setting him on his shoulders and run around in circles, jiggling him up and down. Uncle Larry would comment on how big Donny was getting and they’d tumble to the ground, laughing.

Donny loved playing hide-and-seek with his Uncle Larry.
