The Authorities Joined in on the Game
We had just recently moved into our neighborhood and my sister, who was five at the time, was playing hide and seek with a neighbor kid.
Long story short, kid couldn’t find her, all the adults started going around the neighborhood shouting for her, it was getting dark, after a while my parents called 9-1-1. Someone eventually found her.
They demanded to know what happened—and her response was the funniest thing I’ve ever heard. Apparently, she had heard everyone calling for her the whole time!
But, she was playing hide and seek so duh she wasn’t coming out until someone found her! Parents called the authorities back and told them not to come. That’s how we met most of our neighbors. Source: Reddit/theonewithkatie
