When I close my eyes, I'm invisible

"Hide from Mommy" is a game Niranjana and Andy play at bedtime. I'll be brushing my teeth and will hear the call to hide, followed by giggles and the rustling of sheets.

"Where did Daddy and Niranjana go?" I wonder aloud. "Oh look, there are two big lumps in the bed. I'll have to flatten those so I can go to sleep."

So I take the pillow and start gently whacking the lumps. The small one squirms. "Oh no, it's a monster! Or a dinosaur! I better tickle it."

The tickling results in more giggles. "Hey, that sounds like Niranjana," I say.

"That's not me," says a cute little voice from under the sheet. "I'm still hiding."
