Hiding behind a pole!

There’s this little girl who honestly believes a skinny pole can make her invisible to her dad, and watching her try is just pure childhood logic. Her dad is doing that classic parent thing, slowly looking around the room with that “okay, where is she, I’m about to say something” face. The moment she notices his eyes moving, she understands that she might be in trouble. But instead of running away or hiding behind something big, she calmly walks over to this thin pole and steps right behind it, as if it’s a magic shield. From there, she really commits. She presses her body against the pole and keeps sliding left and right so that, in her mind, she stays completely “hidden.” Every few seconds she leans out, peeks at her dad with this serious little spy face, and then snaps back behind the pole like she’s in a secret mission. What makes it even sweeter is that this is actually very normal for kids. Many children truly believe, “If I can’t see you very well, maybe you can’t see me either.” It’s that funny mix of panic, hope, and confidence that only kids have.
