Gussie Grey: Hide and Speak

...Er, um, Hello!

My name is Augustus. I have parents. Sometimes life can be difficult. I possess the great skill of being able to charm the socks off of anyone who chances to spot me, a rare occurrence indeed. [The spotting, that is; not the charming!]
However, for you, Dear Reader, I am prepared to divulge my deepest thoughts and perspective of the world, mostly because if I don't tell somebody what is going on around here, I am going to pop!
But be warned, proceed with caution: Living with Mummy and Dad can be rather harrowing at times...

Hide and Speak

Does anyone know the rules of that thrilling game of intrigue known as Hide & Seek?

I am wondering because Mummy says I haven’t quite got the hang of it.

She says it is a game of secrecy which involves being quiet. I am sure I don’t know what she is talking about.

Every now and then, Mummy will playfully chase me through the house until I discover a place I just know will be the ultimate hiding spot. Problem is Mummy always finds me!

I can’t think how she does it.

Take today for an instance:

Running fast as I could away from Mummy, I slipped ‘round the corner into the guest bath and dove behind the shower curtain, glowing with confidence because she would never think to look for me in there. And as it seemed to be taking her forever [even better!], I began trilling to myself to pass the time. Next thing I know, she flings the shower curtain back and exposes me!

I was astonished.

Is she, perhaps, using hidden cameras? Is she psychotic...er, psychic?

I must get to the bottom of this if I am to win the game someday.

I must discover her secret!

I am going to ponder this deep mystery.
