Was it back when I was 13?
" A game? "
Mom smiled as she listened to my question
" Yes, if you can figure out where I had hidden the key, you'll get the gift that is inside this chest "
It was completely random however I played along either way, a gift was offered after all, yet even as I spent the next 6 hours searching and finding clues, I had no idea where the key had been hidden
So I used my most powerful weapon at the time
I ran up.... and gave my mom a big hug
" Mooooom "
" Yes dear? "
" You know I love you right? "
" Yes, I do "
" And you love me? "
" Since the very beginning "
" Good then... about the key? "
" Not a chance "
" Ughhh "
It had failed miserably
' Where did you hide it? '
Grumbling while still in her embrace I had that single thought, it was nothing grand and didn't have much emotion in it
