As the bear's little, beady eyes peered at me I pondered my next move. "Where will I place him?" I thought to myself. Then...a light bulb went off in my manipulative skull. Quickly I snatched up the ugly stuffed bear and darted into Nicole's room. I maneuvered around her belongings and debated where I would hide him next: in the hollows of the cinder block or tucked in  her teal pillowcase? I knew I had to act quickly, so I went with my gut and set the toy inside the cold, white brick and left the blue bear for Nicole to discover...then POOF! There she was- I was caught red, or should I say, blue-handed. I had a feeling World War Three was about to ensue.
