this morning #2287.

this morning, from my hiding spot beneath the end table between the sofa & the fireplace, i waited. waited longer than i wanted to but it’s no big deal. not to me, at least. i can wait all day, especially knowing that the payoff’s going to be AMAZING. when he comes down the stairs & wonders where i am, he’ll call out my name but i won’t answer. i’ll keep quiet & let him search a little bit. let him call for me a few more times as he goes from room to room. eventually, he’ll figure out that i’m hiding & he’ll do his best to find me. he’ll check closets. the cellar. may even go outdoors to look inside my fort. when he finally does find me, it’ll be such a surprise. i’ll crawl out from underneath the table & we’ll laugh & laugh & laugh. like i said…it’s going to be AMAZING. he’s the best dad.
