She Hid Under My Desk

She hid under my desk.
Waiting for me.
To discover her.
Thinking it was going to be hilarious.
It was not.
When the principal took a seat in my chair,
Attempting in vain to wipe smiles
Off two culprits faces

When she said the principal's name and he jumped a foot, man, I would have paid a dollar to have seen that. He is not usually a jumper.

Thank you. I appreciate your stop-by. Curiously enough, you have no name to go with your photo. This intrigues me.

I haven't played hide-n-seek in years (don't have a little one to play with, and wouldn't want to try it with a stranger's child!)

This child was junior high, playing a "trick" on me that backfired on her after she called the principal's name and he jumped a foot in the air, sending the culprits into hysterical laughter.
