Tag You're It!


I have always played tag when I was a little girl. We would sometimes play outside, but it always easy to find someone but not always easy to catch them. You were never allowed to leave the yard so their would be boundaries. Same with when someone is trying to call you at work. My partners, in Real Estate, call people for our livelihood. Some days we get a lot of phone calls, and other days it's not as many. When we get a message from someone we call back. If we get them or their voice message we say, "tag you're it." It helps take some of the pressure off yourself, and the other people who are trying to get you. We don't want anyone feeling ignored, especially in our business. You want to try and get your calls as quickly and professionally as you can. If you know you are not going to be in, let someone know you're not.
As kids, we used to put army blankets over our windows when we played inside the house. My brother, Lee, thought up an inside game we could play. He was very creative. Some days it was raining and we needed another place to play. Lee, thought up a game he called, The Bean. Don't really know why he called it that. The Bean was an area you could put people in. At our house it was the closet. It would be pitch dark with the army blankets we used. You would literally have to feel around to find someone. Of course, the minute you touched that person, there would always be a scream. You couldn't see them and they couldn't see you. It was fun, funny and exciting all at the same time. All the neighbors used to want to get in on the action. When you caught the person, you would put them in the Bean. Other people in the room would have to sneak around to get to them. You would get to the closet to tag that person before you were caught by the Bean person. Once you caught everyone, the first one captured was designated as tagged, and had to be it for the next game. We had so many chuckles and noises my brother would make, that we would laugh till we cried or lost ourselves, if you know what I mean. My brother could out play anyone in the dark. We never knew how he did it other than listening to our breathing, grunts, giggles and groans.
If Bobo and Izzy played Bean, in the dark, they would probably get their tails or bodies stomped on. We would hear a whole lot of panting, jumping and barking too. It wouldn't be the kind of tag they would want to play in the dark, even though they can smell. Bobo has been injured once already. I don't think he wants to get knocked around again. Bless his little heart and his leg. Anyway they love to play, but like to be chased by who they can smell and see.
