Secret Room

I am allowed free access to most parts of our house. I do face some resistance when I go to a place my mother keeps calling "pantree" (though I have never seen any pants in it). I have not been able to get enough time to tinker when this cold room opens and stores colorful juicy stuff. My parents keep referring to it as 'frij' I think. There are no secrets in these rooms.

But there are two rooms in our house that I am sure hold some secrets. I have gotten into these rooms and have my daily bath in one of them, but I notice that my parents go in there often and do not let me in. When I am taken in for a bath, I have tried looking at all the things in that room, to see if anything has changed positions and gives some clues, but to no avail. I think my parents are hiding some secrets in these rooms and do not want me to know. There is this short fixed stool on which I like to tap my hands. This one time,when I found the top open, I figured out that they were hiding water in it. When my dad was not looking during his shave, I even got to taste a bit of that water, but it just tastes no different. They never use it for my bath though.

So, I do not know what they do with that water. I have noticed these colorful slabs and do not know what they are used for. Every time I try to taste one, my mother takes it away and washes my hands. Interestingly, she even washes her own hands with that same hard slab!

All kiddos out there, if you have such secret rooms in your homes, email me and we can compare notes.
