Clever Hiding Place

The girls were playing a round of Hide and Seek with Drew, and Drew couldn't find G: he looked all throughout the house twice. Normally, she's tucked herself into a corner with her eyes shut tight, presumably trying to be absorbed into the wall; or crouching behind a door, pretending that she can't be seen. But this time, Drew looked in all the usual places and no G! I volunteered to be part of the search operation, partly out of curiosity. A quick glance through the living room and I happened to spy two sets of fingers and two sets of toes peeking out from the sides of the couch pillows: G had cleverly concealed herself under two pillows in such a way that it couldn't easily be guessed that there was anything underneath them. If she had known to hide her digits, it would have been the completest thing.
