“Okay, close your eyes now. No cheating.”
“They’re closed.”
“And now, guess.”
A few seconds of silence.
Then Emily burst out laughing.
“I know!”
That was when I couldn’t wait any longer. Without knocking, I opened the door.
“Dad!” What happened next read in the comments 👇‼️👇‼️
He turned around in surprise.
And what I saw was so far from every terrible thing my mind had imagined that I just stood there for a few seconds.
Emily was sitting safely in the tub, surrounded by bubbles and bath toys.
Her eyes were closed.
My father was holding a small cup in one hand, using it to rinse her hair, while in the other hand he held one of Emily’s rubber ducks.
“Mom,” Emily laughed, “you ruined the game!”
I looked at them, confused.
“What game?”
Dad slowly smiled.
“Guess the sound.”
