With a pillow over her face, Molly counts. “One, two, five, eight...”
We laugh and run to hide. She looks in the usual places. Under the table, behind the door, and in the closet.
She likes to count and hide with Ashlyn, Emily, or grandma. When a good spot is found, she tries to hide there right away before the counting even begins. At two, she is just learning the rules and how to play so no one expects her to do it perfectly.
Her latest spot caused laughter. To her, she was carefully hidden, but to everyone else, she was exposed.
Are we like Molly? We think we have carefully hidden poor attitudes, bad habits, and prejudices but are actually exposed.
