After hearing how a very young Gran would sneak out of the house when her mother wasn’t looking and hide in the woodshed, The Five-Year-Old was inspired. Sensing this, Mommyo quickly tried to rephrase Gran’s feat into terms that wouldn’t put The Five-Year-Old in imminent danger.
Mommyo: “You realize, The Five-Year-Old, that the woodshed was part of the main house. It would be like you going and hiding in the playroom.”
The Five-Year-Old, disappointed: “How would I do that?”
Mommyo: “You’d sneak in when I’m not looking. But you’d have to be really sneaky. I’m pretty sharp-eyed.”
The Five-Year-Old: “I could hide behind the (mumble, mumble). I’m pretty agile.”
Mommyo: “Where are you going to hide?”
The Five-Year-Old: “I’m… I can’t tell you.”
