Ever find yourself doing the same thing as Lucas's nephew? I've totally hidden my own messes before, thinking if I don't look at it, it just goes away.
Man that reminds me of when my nephew tried to hide he spilled his whole plate by just putting the couch cushion back over it. We found dried ketchup and macaroni like a week later, lol. Kid thought he solved the problem by just pretending it never happened.
