When I was  a young boy in Ontario , in the fall the grasses in the field was high enough that when I was on my belly I could hide in the Grass. The grass was probably about 20 feet from the house . So I thought that it was a lot of fun to hid from my brothers or Mom. I can remember my brothers looking for me and when they came to look for me I would crawl around on my belly to keep them guessing to where I was. Mom would stand on the steps of the house and tell us it was time to come in the house for the night. But I didn't want to go in yet so I stayed in the grass and was as quiet as a mouse. I think Mom probably knew where I was but she played along and pretending that she could not see me . Mom seemed  very happy and let us get away with a bit more trickery and joking. Little did we know that there was a big change about to happen in all our lives. But in the mean time we sure had a lot of fun crawling around in the high grass and thinking that nobody could see us.Mom let me stay outside longer than usual . After awhile I had crawled around on my belly in the grass so much that it seemed like there was hardly any more  tall grass to crawl in. It had all been flattened.
