Super Spy

Archer and Shelly just finished up a serious discussion on "a research paper about mazes." (Seriously, that's a direct quote. How does a four year old come up with that?)

Now they're playing Super Spy. I remember playing a version of this when we were kids and I remember being SO STEALTHY that Mom and Dad NEVER heard or saw us. I mean, they never turned to look at us, or talk to us, so they must not have heard me sitting behind the chair, or seen me running into the room and hiding in the corner. Right? We even kept spy journals where we reported on what our parents were doing at that exact moment. Like, Dad's watching golf on t.v. Mom's typing a letter. Exciting stuff, right? Now, as the mom who is being spied on, I have to very carefully AVOID accidentally looking in their direction when they're running around so I don't ruin their game. I get it now. They were just ignoring us. We thought we were so sneaky...
