When you were a kid. Did you ever have friends over for tea?
Imagine you are young 6-10 years old and remember those friends. What mischief did you get up to? What mischief did you try and do without your parents hearing it?
Picture a doll house. The music starts in the kids room with the strings. Kids are jumping on the sofa... "TIG YOU'RE IT"... maybe tip toeing up the stairs, maybe HIDE and SEEK in the rest of the house...
As the strings are playing, what time can you remember, what game were you playing and who are you with? The intensity of the game...
Tip towing up the stairs...
Back down the stairs... trying to be quiet... holding your breath when hiding...
Think of all those feelings when you were young and remember a specific occasion...
Meanwhile, as the woodwinds start, the parents are catching up over dinner. The woodwinds are the hosts of the house, general catch up small talk is occurring then start complaining about work and the traffic as the music gets more intense.
The brass are the visitors... a little more positive and upbeat on their news. Some extended family member has a new baby or getting married... the conversation between both continues.
Clarinet: Oh excellent news!
Mother/Woodwinds - "DINNER IS ALMOST READY, YOU GUYS OKAY?"
Kids/ Strings - "Yeah I'm fine, will be down in 5"
The game continues...
Check mum and dads wardrobe for any roque 7 year olds... NO!
Behind the curtain... NO!
Behind the bathroom door... NO!
Under the bed... NO!
Tip toe back down the stairs... to check the downstairs toilet... where can they be!?
Mother: "Dinner is ready. Come through"
The kids are coming through one by one out of their hiding spots...
"YOU DIDNT FIND ME"
Mum: Who won?
One of the Kids: Me
Other kid: No it's was me
Guest: You both won
First kid: No it was me!
Seeker: We will start again
The game will continue after dinner... food is served...
