This reminds me of a confession from my eldest son's teacher when he started school 30 years ago. This dear lady told me that she'd lost Philip during the day. My thought was "lucky you! tell me how to do it!"
She'd organised a game of hide-and-seek in the classroom, and when the game was over, the children went out to lunch (for an hour). Some time after lunch she realised that she was missing a child - Philip. By this time, with going-home time fast approaching, the need to find him was urgent. The whole class searched and searched.....I don't know who found it, but he *was* finally found - hiding in the closed toy box. What Miss Chaffers-Welsh didn't know was that Philip, even at that age, had a very highly developed desire to excel at all things - even hide-and-seek. When I asked him if he'd been bored and hungry, hiding in the toy box for the best part of a day, he replied: "yes, but I knew that if I came out I wouldn't win the game"!
