When I was around 6 years old, I was playing hide and seek with my sister.  I fell asleep underneath a folded-up roll-away bed in a spare bedroom of our small house (~1000 sqft).<p>When my sister and my parents couldn&#x27;t find me, they feared the worst and called the police who came and searched the house and couldn&#x27;t find me.  I woke up, walked out into the living room and everyone stared at me in disbelief.<p>All that to say that I can very easily see a small child hiding under a skirt remaining unnoticed for several hours.  How the child stayed <i>quiet</i> for that long would be surprising to me, but stranger things have happened.
