Lightness of being ...

I call it the game of the eyes.

First it is tough to get her notice you. But somehow you've got to get there, a smile at an unexpected instant, a twitch and wobble of the nose, and maybe a 'wowed' mouth with bubbled eyes - now this one has to be done carefully so that any lesser mortals don't get a glimpse of this and deem you perpetually mad - might just work. So, you've got her attention, hold on to it for sometime. Now don't overdo it, she'll get bored and go away. Next thing is to look for a partial hiding place for your eyes. Well, but not a dungeon that her eyes can't reach without subverting laws of physics. Ok, now gently move your face into the hiding angle so that her eyes can't see your eyes. If you had had her interested enough, you can see she'll slowly move.

And there she is peeking out of the hiding angle and at your eyes! Make sure you smile.

Now you move to normal position. As per rules, she has to hide now and you'll seek. But rules are made to be bent, so you might have to hide again and again before she decides to do so.

If you see her smiling like a lotsa roses, the games a win-win :-)
