she walks up to her mother hiding in a dark corner because her mother said not to let anyone know that she came home early from school
What do you think you're doing? And why are you hiding in the shadows? Explain yourself, young lady!
Mom, I did come home early today but I didnāt want you to know because I knew you were busy with work and everything else so I decided to play a little hide and seek
narrows her eyes suspiciously Hide and seek? Really? And why would you think hiding in the shadows would make it more exciting?

Okay, Mom. I'll get it. she quickly runs to the trash can and retrieves the key
Excellent work, MintyMood! Now, hand me the key.
Here it is, Mom. Got it without making a sound.
