"Yes pumkin?" I heard.

"Why do I have to wear this?"

"It's part of the game." He picked me up. "And off we go!" I laughed and giggled as he carried me, though the crinkling around me was annoying.

"What's the game called?" I whispered, hearing a truck in the distance.

"Trash day. It's alot like hide and seek. You gotta wait for mommy now. And remember, be silent." I nodded, though he probably couldn't tell.

I heard something shut above me as the truck sounds neared. I could just barely hear footsteps running away over the sound of an engine. My voice barely came out a whisper, "Daddy?"
