Childhood Games


One. Two. Three.

“Hey, no peeking.”

Four. Five. Six.

“This is my spot.  Find your own.”

Seven. Eight. Nine.

“I need more time, count higher.”

Ten, ready or not here I come.

Silence filled the yard as giggles were suppressed. 

Lucy, pigtails hanging down her back, turned away from the porch railing.  For a moment she surveyed the area.  A mischievous grin appeared on her face as she noted the tell tale flashes of colorful clothing peeking out from behind bushes and the corner of the garage.  She skipped out into the backyard looking for one of the hidden players.
