Gee, I did that. Was there something wrong with it?
-
Naaaah… :) I used to get so mad at Chrissy for doing this. So embarrassing!
-
-
This might just be my favorite post. I love the work you did on the saleroom floor! If I had a Facebook to like you on, I totally would!
-
Thanks :) I only wish the saleroom floor could have been bigger than just 584 pixels wide!
-
-
Hee! This makes me smile.
-
Thanks, SJ. You make me smile :D
-
-
awesome, once again…
-
Thanks, sm!
-
-
Reminds me of me and my brother growing up
-
Oh, no! Did you both hide?
-
All the time; what’s worse, I’m disabled – so a bit of a extra scare for mom….but we were only kids hehe
-
-
-
The number of times I lost my niece in the department store because she would magically become part of some display! These grey hairs are from her.
-
Haha! My daughter has tried it a few times, but I can always hear her giggling to herself.
-
-
Ha! I used to do this all the time when I was a kid. And it was hilarious until my own son pulled the same on me the other day. Now I think it is terrible and cruel. But oh, the middle of the circular clothing rack, you are so safe and warm.
-
Okay, I MIGHT have done it once or twice, so I do understand the appeal :) The cosiness and feeling of security…
-
-
Supreme hiding place. Loved it!
-
It is way better than standing on top of a toilet seat in a public restroom.
-
-
This is hilarious. And her expression when she finally gets called is priceless. It’s amazing how you make the facial expressions so perfectly!
-
Thanks :) Sometimes I practice making faces in front of the mirror.
-
-
Thank goodness my kids haven’t done this to me yet! But I certainly remember doing it as a kid. I didn’t wait long enough to be paged though. Great memory, great post.
-
Me neither, which is what made me so mad when Chrissy would do it. That kid had no sense of propriety!
-
-
I miss being a kid. Just kidding, I did this at Forever 21 just this weekend.
-
Haha!
-
-
love!!! did you use real wire for the hangers?
-
Yes! And never again! haha
-
-
Ah, the memories. There must be a gene for doing this to our families.
-
Hmm, you may be on to something…
-
-
Oh Nicki, my then-2-year-old daughter did this is a crowded mall at Christmas and I thought I was going to have a heart attack. Great, great expressions (as usual)!
-
Ah! I would have had a panic attack!
-
-
I love how everyone learns the same hiding tricks, the same panic-inducing fear tactics to play on their parents, and the same bewildered response.
Love your lively sister. She looks great.-
Thanks :)
-
-
Omg this brought back memories!! =D I used to love doing this! (I’ll admit, I’m not quite cool enough to keep doing it…)
And I LOVE your animations! They are spectacular!!-
Thank you! I always laugh when I stumble upon a kid hiding in the racks in a department store.
-
-
Sending this one to MY sister (who was the one who did this as a child)…
-
Ha! I hope she likes it!
-
-
Ooooooooh, round racks in a department store! Best. Story. Ever: My sister, at the very self-important age of 13, is shopping in Deb. My dad gets down on all fours, crawls through a circular rack and starts mooing like a cow!
She still turns red when we tell this story. (Sorry sis….nah, not really) [I can soooo picture this as you would illustrate it too!] :D-
hahahahaha! That is a good one!
-
-
Excellent! My poor mom, always dealing with my brothers and me all running off and hiding. There was just something so fun and magical about hiding in those racks. Of course, me kids do this now. Payback. Everything comes full circle.
-
That full circle thing is NOT fun. I was an insufferable know-it-all as a child. Now I have 3 year old who knows EVERYTHING and is constantly correcting me. So great.
-
-
I totally did this when I was a kid. Great job, Nicki. :)
-
Thanks, Emily!

Childhood memories in 1..2..3.
-
:D
-
-
haha! ahhh, the taste of power.
-
Wow, I think you just hit the nail on the head!
-
-
HAHAHAHAHA! I’ve never forgotten this game, i’m always terrified Jakob will discover it!
-
What?! I can’t believe he hasn’t yet!
-
-
HA! YOUR POOR MOTHER. Oy.
-
Seriously.
-
-
Yup, this was (cough*still*cough) me.
-
hahaha! I bet your mother dreads taking you shopping.
-
-
You are simply amazing!!!
-
:) Thanks
-
-
Oh, yes! My kids do something similar. Only they keep an I on my moves (they change hiding locations as I move around the shop). The good thing about this “method” that I don’t get stressed where they are. I just start queuing at the check out and when it is my turn to pay they join me.
-
Good strategy!
-
When I was a kid, there was a certain children’s clothing store in the mall that had a ball pit–of course, it’s long since been gone, and replaced with a Gap store instead. Anyway, my mom would take me and my brother there, and we’d play in the ball pit while she picked out our clothes. The only drawback was, a lot of the clothes at that store were UGLY, so we had a choice–we could either play in the ball pit for the time we were in the store, or have input into wardrobe decisions that’d affect us until we outgrew or wore out the clothes. That’s a pretty stressful decision to make when you’re five or six.

Awesome post :) I’ve only been paged over store intercoms once. I should add that throughout my childhood I was left at drive-thrus and Wal-Marts more times that I can count :)
-
Thanks! :)
-
-
That’s pretty much how I spent my childhood.
-
Hahaha! I’d love to read “A Memoir of a Childhood Spent in the Clothes Racks.”
-
-
I don’t remember ever doing this, but my children have started to love hiding in the clothes at department stores.
-
Aw, I miss that splendid place! Hey, wait a minute…maybe I could take my iPad in there and check out for the day?
-
This was very amusing and i loved it so. It reminds me of when i was younger and liked to hide in small places at the stores so no one could find me. Its probably one of the best things a kid does at the store. I know that i loved doing that and watching my brother trying to find me. Another fun thing that was fun to do in the stores was get in a shopping cart and let my brother push me really fast like a racing car. You should make a picture thing based on that. Just a thought. Anyways i loved this it was amazing it made my day!!
Hope you have a wonderful day! :)
