When life can be fun, keep it fun. When it can‘t, make it fun.

2009年7月7日，星期二傍晚6點左右，美國賓州（PYMATUNING TOWNSHIP, PENNSYLVANIA）一名兩歲女孩娜塔麗（Natalie）在和哥哥及兩個姐姐玩躲貓貓遊戲時失蹤了。
驚恐萬狀的父母以及整個社區的所有鄰居傾巢出動，全力以赴，屋內室外，翻天覆地，尋找了近個把小時，毫無結果。最後不得不求助警察、消防隊員，甚至出動搜救警犬，興師動眾，幾乎掘地三尺，仍舊無果。
正當眾人絕望之時，娜塔麗家的狗狗Copper發現了金發小姑娘的蹤影－－她躲在洗衣機下麵的抽屜裏酣然大睡。
哥姐嚇得半死，父母更是心有餘悸。雖娜塔麗失而複得毫發未損，但家長不許孩子們再玩躲貓貓遊戲。從此，娜塔麗及哥姐與躲貓貓遊戲絕緣了。一朝被蛇咬，十年怕井繩。
躲貓貓，應是全世界兒童青睞鍾情的共通遊戲之一。捉迷藏，無國界。
回想起童年時代玩過的躲貓貓，無拘無束，樂趣橫生。
因了沒什麽技術含量，又無須借助任何工具和外力，隻要有藏身之處，不被逮著就成。因而山林溪河、村頭巷尾、房前屋後，灶間柴火堆、床鋪飯桌下、櫃子房門後，都是躲貓貓的首選場所，人人無師自通，躲技嫻熟。
往往在吃完晚飯後，夜幕降臨時，一窩子黃牙小兒，黃毛丫頭，混跡著光著屁股蛋子呲溜著兩條鼻涕的小屁孩，不分性別、年齡、強弱，大家一視同仁，一番‘合手’淘汰，剩下倆‘錘子剪刀布’決勝負，負方擔當尋者，其餘為隱士。
隨著一聲令下“一二三，躲啊！”，一群小隱士們如脫兔般狂奔，爭先恐後，上躥下跳，東躲西藏。被找到的，垂頭喪氣，憤憤不已，怪自己倒黴或不公，要報仇要申冤。沒被抓現行的，趾高氣揚，興高采烈，樂得不知北在哪兒，更不知自己姓什麽了。
一個簡單的貓捉老鼠的躲貓貓遊戲，玩起來，小家夥們個個跟打了雞血，抽風似的，情緒高漲，興奮異常，可以玩得忘乎所以，樂此不疲，而且脫胎換骨，判若兩人。原先怕黑怕鬼的，突然都膽大包天，如閻王附體。斯文的行為張狂了，笨拙的身手敏捷了，無精打采的生龍活虎了，羞答答寡言少語的尖聲怪叫不輸他人。輪番做貓當老鼠，一個比一個狡猾奸詐，一個比一個勇敢無畏，哪裏黑暗哪裏尋找，哪裏隱蔽哪裏躲藏。
小時候，生活在鄉下農村。農民家都建有豬圈，同時也是方便的茅房，養豬如廁雙管齊下。而很多豬欄上方都擱置著一到兩付備用棺材，儼然如鬼門關，不僅臭氣熏天，而且陰氣襲人。每次去這些人家玩，上趟廁所便是對膽量的嚴峻考驗：膽顫心驚毛骨悚然進去，手忙腳亂驚魂未定出來。鬼是無形的，可怕可不怕，而巨大的棺材近在咫尺，實實在在足以嚇得人屁滾尿流的。
躲貓貓時，最可恨的是幾個天不怕地不怕的小夥伴，偏愛躲進這些空置的棺材裏。我等怕鬼的小姑娘們哪有膽子與恐怖的棺材零距離接觸？站在那黑燈瞎火的茅房外，感覺裏麵魑魅魍魎鬼影幢幢，無奈地在黑暗中幹瞪眼，隻有認輸的份。而躲在空棺材裏的小夥伴們幸災樂禍，公然挑釁，有的嚷嚷：“有本事有膽量你就過來抓我們啊，來呀！來呀！”有的唱道：“東風吹，戰鼓擂，現在世界上究竟誰怕誰？”有的高喊：“下定決心，不怕犧牲，排除萬難，去爭取更大的勝利。”“這是我、我、我的黨費，讓我最後再看一眼紅旗吧！”
若不幸被長輩撞上，就有好戲看了。這些褻瀆棺材的淘氣包調皮鬼，瞬間英雄氣短變狗熊。
而兩歲的娜塔麗躲貓貓躲得更精彩 ，小小年紀膽識過人，居然能想出躲進洗衣機下麵的抽屜裏，堪稱一絕。看來，小姑娘是個有躲貓貓天賦的躲貓貓奇才，前途不可估量。
不過活了一輩子作了一世人，不久前才知道躲貓貓這個遊戲居然有著一定的危險性。國內雲南幾個犯人童心未泯，放風時玩‘躲貓貓’遊戲，其中一個年輕力壯的小夥子一不留神竟然躲出“重度顱腦損傷”，不幸身亡。
躲貓貓鬧出人命，匪夷所思。不曉得國內監獄是否如美國賓州的娜塔麗家一樣，從此禁止躲貓貓遊戲了？！
Little girl lost is found
Frantic search has happy ending

A favorite childhood game is banned from the Jasmer household after 2-year-old Natalie proved herself the hide-and-seek champion.
Natalie went missing Tuesday evening while playing the game with her brother and sisters and the best efforts of neighbors, police and firefighters called by her frantic parents weren’t enough to turn up the tot.
The terrifying ordeal for her parents ended happily after more than an hour of scouring the neighborhood around the 10th Street mobile home park where the Jasmers live.
In the end, it was the family dog that flushed her out.
“Copper found her,” Natalie’s brother Kenny Findley said, crediting the mutt with discovering the tiny girl asleep inside a drawer underneath the washing machine in the family’s home.
Natalie’s family was obviously relieved but still visibly shaken after she was found. Six-year-old Delynn Jasmer continued to cry after her little sister was discovered.
“I was scared we were never going to find her” Delynn said.
“I’m sorry,” the sweet-faced blonde told those who crowded around her in the family’s living room about 7:15 p.m.
Natalie’s mother Michelle Jasmer said Natalie and her siblings were playing hide-and-seek at about 6 p.m. and the family thought she had gone outside with Delynn.
Dad Dennis Jasmer said Natalie’s siblings told him she had been tired, so he feared she’d wandered into the woods, lay down by a tree and nodded off.
“I tore the house apart. I looked everywhere,” Jasmer said. “I walked around and around and around.”
It seemed like everyone in the neighborhood helped look for the girl and police were called about 6:45 p.m. after she was still not found, Pymatuning Township patrolman Mike Brown said.
“The neighbors were out searching all over,” Brown said, adding that he was “very impressed with the community.”
Jasmer was grateful they came together to look for his daughter.
“At least it makes you feel kind of good. If something happens, everyone pitches in,” Jasmer said.
Mrs. Jasmer said the kids are no longer allowed to play hide-and-seek.
“That game is forever stricken,” Jasmer agreed.
A K-9 search team was also at the scene along with Transfer volunteer firefighters Greenville and Hempfield Township police.
