I feel like I’m playing “Red Light, Green Light” here. You know the game. A player who is “It” hides their eyes and turns away. You start a certain distance away, take little steps, and try to be still if “It” turns around. You take step by step … and at any point, your hard, careful work can be all for naught as you’re sent back to the starting line because the person who is “It” turned their head and saw you moving.
