A Little Too Good
When we were little kids, my siblings and I were playing hide and seek in our house. My sister (6 at the time) decided to hide in an empty trunk in an upstairs closet. It was a good spot. A little too good. She ended up falling asleep in the trunk and no one could find her.
We yelled her name and yelled that the game was over, but she was asleep so no response. Ended up looking for a while. Parents catch on, they freak out, call 9-1-1. Officers show up, they proceed to shut down the neighborhood and call in backup to search for her.
The main theory at this point is that she got kidnapped while looking for a spot to hide outside. A couple hours of anxiety and panic go by and my sister wakes up from her nap, comes downstairs, and helps herself to some goldfish in the kitchen.
A few minutes later my mom and the officers walk in. I wish I was there to see her reaction. A mixture of fury, embarrassment, joy, and relief I’m sure. My sister was just a little too good at hide and seek for her own good. Source: Reddit/nccu21
