Dad's always win at hide and seek, so...

Good luck finding one when there's yard work to do.

Did You Know?

The joke works because dads have a legendary reputation for mysteriously vanishing whenever chores need doing — they're masters at hide-and-seek by necessity! Studies show that men spend an average of 10 hours per week on household chores compared to women's 18 hours, though the gap has been narrowing since the 1960s. Hide-and-seek itself dates back centuries and remains one of the world's most universal children's games, played in nearly every culture with variations in rules and names.
