Hide and Seek

The boys were up early this morning — well before me — and I couldn't find them anywhere. 

I searched the house without success… then just as I was leaving the spare bedroom they jumped out of the wardrobe, shouting 'BOO!'

They've spent the rest of the day playing hide-and-seek in increasingly unlikely places, and taking a heavy toll on my nerves. 

I can easily understand why their Mum, Mrs Vermilingua, drinks so much Ant Gin. I may need to have a glass myself soon, for entirely medicinal purposes!
