Police Are 'it,' Assist In Pa. Hide-and-seek Game

Hide-and-seek Win: Pa. Toddler Does Such A Good Job Hiding That Parents Have To Call Police

(AP)  A Pennsylvania toddler did such a remarkable job of hiding during a game of hide-and-seek that the family had to call police and firefighters to help find her. Two-year-old Natalie Jasmer was playing the game with her siblings Tuesday in their Pymatuning Township home. When the family couldn't find her, parents Dennis and Michelle Jasmer called authorities.

Emergency crews and friends frantically searched the neighborhood about 70 miles northwest of Pittsburgh for about an hour.

The family's dog, Copper, finally sniffed her out. She had fallen asleep in a drawer underneath the family's washing machine.

The little girl told her family she was sorry. Hide-and-seek is now banned in the Jasmer household.

The family banned hide and seek? Sore losers, couldn't stand that Natalie was the champion of all time, at two ;-)

LOLOL...funny now of course now the the li'l champ is safe! :>) I'm thinking the 'banning' was just a knee-jerk reaction to the press out of being shook up - also very cool of the officer's and firefighter's 'played' along so as not scare the other kids!
