i remember one christmas, i was probably 6 or 7 years old, and all the kids played hide & seek while the adults got drunk. i hid under a small table covered with a decorative sheet that hung all the way to the ground. no one could find me, and i wouldn’t come out even after everyone else had been found, and even after the adults became worried & came to look for me themselves.
that’s kind of how i feel today.
