Critical Response:
When I was small I loved to hide in every corner I could find, to me that was an adventure. My parents would search for me none stop; but, I was very happy it was like playing hide and seek. I would sometimes fall asleep anywhere I would hide when they wouldn’t find me. In the end my mother would yell and yell my name; therefore, she would tell me how scary it was for her when she couldn’t find me. I thought it was just a game but to her it was not; so, eventually I would get grounded. My mother would later explained the consequences of my actions of what could happen to me if I was not found. I understood everything she was telling me, but I loved the feeling of suspense, my heart pumping so fast filled with excitement. As I grew older the adventures went away now my adventures are filled by finding my kids, and playing hide and seek.
