His Dirty Little Secret

We designed our backyard for maximum baby safety. The fenced area is rectangular, eliminating blind corners and allowing optimum visibility for caretakers. With the exception of one large tree, all the landscaping is planted on the outside of the fence. The four gates all have safety locks. There is plenty of room to run and play and few hiding places, or so we thought. We were in the backyard playing recently with a couple of neighbor kids. I was visiting with one of the parents when I realized I couldn’t see Trey Davey. Glancing around the yard he wasn’t visible. I quickly checked behind the tree, and he wasn’t there. As panic grew I called for him and from under the slide I heard “Yes Daddy”. Even though he was digging in dirt wearing nice clothes, I was too relieved to care.
