Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for February 13, 2023

Hammie and Zoe need to give Wren some basic instructions on how to play hide and seek.

Was told that I called out “You can’t find me. I’m hiding in the closet!”

goo’ twy, Wren

No, Dad. You’re supposed to check every room and under all the beds, and then follow the giggles.

Darryl must suck at peek-a-boo

Aww, Wren is so adorable.

No, dad. You walk from room to room, looking in drawers, behind pictures on the wall, and on the ceiling, saying, “Where’s Wren? I can’t find her.” Then after two minutes, you give up, she pops out and you are astonished at how well she hid. Get with the program.

You are not an ostrich Wren! Cute kid!

Darryl’s not very good at hide ’n seek, is he?

One of my daughters did a similar thing once when playing Hide-‘N-Seek. After I had counted ten, I saw her sitting on the floor at the end of the couch with her eyes covered. She though if she couldn’t see me, I couldn’t see her. Hold over from playing “Peek-a-boo” I think. I played a along and spoke as I looked in totally ridiculous places to which she giggled. After “finding” her, I explained the error of her belief. She did a lot better hiding the next time around.

Darryl, come on man, everyone knows hide and seek with a toddler is more of an acting job rather than an actual game. Give the kid a break already.

Darrell is a poor sport. He doesn’t know the joy of pretending he doesn’t see his baby girl hiding. I remember my sister saying “Where’s Tammy? I can’t see her anywhere” then looking all over my room while I lay under my bed covers with my tummy sucked in trying not to giggle. Best day ever.

My four-year old granddaughter explained to me, “Since you can’t hide, I’ll do all the hiding.”

Very thoughtful.

Well that was easy.

Those cushion covers are just too much!!

When my sister was 3 she loved to hide behind a door to jump out yelling BOO! My stepmom would feign a heart attack and baby sis ran away giggling. Then Mor Mor- grandma, came to visit from Denmark. Baby sis tried the ‘boo!’ game with her.. Mor mor thought she was a horrid child.

Aww! :D
