Six little monkeys playing in the parkTrying out every game before it gets too darkHide and seek they all decide and so the game began. The oldest one pretty much orders the youngest member of the group to be the spy first.Is that still legal I asked myself?Anyways so the youngest agreed, but not without showing his displeasure, Chose a tree, covered his eyes with his hands and started counting, while all others rushed to hide behind some bush or car or any wall. One of the perks of the counting, no one is near keeping an eye on you, so the spy counted backwards 20,19,18,17.16,14,10,9,7,5,0….And oh sorry I missed 4 he said loud….. (Really just four?)Ready or not here I come he saidOh boy that counting, If only his math teacher was nearOne can learn all the valuable life lessons from one game of hide and seek. Like the newest member has limited rights, never giggle when you are hiding, there is no perfect spot but if you have found one never tell it to anyone (especially not your pet) and never hide behind a truck cos you never know when it will start moving and you will be left on the road exposed.

The Kid, who got caught first, was giggling hard as he found such a perfect spot to hide. Who would think of looking in the garbage pit?
Am sure his mom will give him a hero’s welcome tonight.
Oh he looked sad when he got caught and went crying straight to his elder brother, who was hiding behind a car,I swear his brother would have disowned him right there if that was possible.Now that the two brothers were out, the spy went on to look for the rest, but not before he wore his sunglass, it was almost dark but the game definitely needed some super hero get up and spirit.

Two just got caught and were out
Elder brother will be angry for a very long time, no doubt
The spy kept looking around for next five minutes, but others were not to be caught that easily and Just when it seemed that the spy was about to declare his defeat, One of the kids hiding somewhere was called by his mom,and the moment he said yes mom, he got caught. Hmm the kid will never get over this and has planned a no dinner tonight, I am sure …..But if mom has prepared his favourite snack, he may forgive her this one time
Oh Parents are born all grown up what do they know about a kids life?
And the elder brother mumbled it seems like a traitors in a family day.

3 kids out, one just had to leave in between
Elder brother still fuming, cribbing and whining
Dinner time was near, to cook or not to cook…
Why can’t people be hungry depending on whether we want to cook or not.
It was a spy thriller I didn’t want to miss, for there will be no repeat telecast, I ordered food from the Chinese eatery nearby. God bless the restaurants.So here I was and the situation was tense…Two kids who knew where their forth buddy was, Oh boy it was tough.Right then the younger brother whispered something in his elder brother’s ear, thank god the elder brother laughed.
But what do you know…… spy heard it all and went straight to the dense bush in the park!
Oops four down one left
What will happen now? Will the evil sunglass wearing spy catch the fifth kid, or will he give up?

So three kids caught and one left the game
If the spy can’t find the last it will be a shame
If he gives up he becomes a spy again, nope that’s not fun and he could smell victory, when you are a kid victory smells different some days it’s a chocolate cake some days a cricket match or a no homework day…..right then something moved behind the mango tree and the one behind the tree peeked and got caught
But I was wearing brown how did you know? He asked
Oh But you didn’t have a green crown I said All of them looked at me startled; they didn’t know I was watching them all this time Green crown one of them repeated and started laughing and rolling on the grass and then they all went home. The game was over but I wanted more…… Six little monkeys…….
