Thread: Conversations with 4 year olds

My son comes up to me and we have the following conversation:

Daddy
Yes
I played a game with Kate at school
Really what kind of game.
Well she holds my wand while we go around and try to find a place to hide the hide the monkey. Then I hold my wand I look for another place to hide the monkey.

At this point I was looking at my wife in a weird way and she finally caught on and explained this game. But needless to say I was shocked that I may have to have THAT conversation with my 4 year old.

Imagine 4 year olds playing hide the monkey? What was I thinking.

you'll have to explain it to me.

Me too please!

You have never heard the expression "Hide the Monkey"? In reference to perhaps chasing your wife or significant other around the house.

Wand is of a euphemism.

I've heard hide the sausage, and your thinking is very clear! Its what your kid was actually doing is the part I don't get.

Oh the actual game.

Ok, the wand is some kind of locater thingy that beeps when you get close to this monkey.

So the kids hide this monkey thing and the other kids runs around with a wand and tries to find it.

I'm not gonna lie, that sounds like an awesome game! It's like a high tech hide and seek.

I'm not sure I can explain how glad I am that I am not the only one that was thinking that!
