I was at work yesterday and had this little story recounted to me by Shane last night when I got home:

Shane, Ethan, and Tegan were playing Hide and Seek. Shane was the “hider” and the kids were the “seekers.” There aren’t many places to hide in our little house, but the kids always seem to have a hard time finding us. Anyway, Shane hid in the closet by the front door. And the kids were having a hard time. They started getting a little frantic. Shane decided to call them, having his phone on him. Surprisingly, Ethan answers the phone.

Shane whispers to him, “Find me, Ethan.”

Ethan shouts, “Where are you? I can’t find you!!”

Shane hangs up. The “If you’d like to make a call lady comes on the phone. Ethan starts talking to her…

“I am lost. I can’t find my dad. Can you help me, lady??” (Cracks me up even now!)

Shane calls back and tells Ethan to find him again. Ethan is right out in the living room so Shane is trying to be quiet. Ethan asks for a hint and Shane tells him he is behind a door. Ethan opens the closet door to find Shane. Who scares the crap out of Ethan by shouting. Shane records it on his phone and texts it to me. I am sure our son is scarred for life by his reaction and has peed his pants (I totally would have). Yet, today, he has asked to watch the video a million times. If I can get Shane to be a sport, I will try share it.

Fun times!
