You're it!

As a child hearing the words, "Tag! You're it!" can feel like stepping barefoot in a room full of tacks; painful, traumatizing or sometimes worse. That neighborhood chubby kid just couldn't keep up with those other little bastards. Then to make matters worse, her brother would play along, and he being 6 years older just made it no fun; at all.

You know how the game goes... you have to run to the designated "safe spot" before you're tagged. Well, those young chubby thighs could never get there fast enough.
Fuck!
Doomed from the get go. Time to kick ass, take names and start tagging. Yet again... those chubby legs could never catch up to those rat bastards.

Those young chubby thighs would eventually carry away a crying girl while leaving behind the laughing older brother. The older brother that seemed to have forgotten just who I was; the neighborhood chubby kid.

So because Bri over at Habbala: Spazzing Since 1985 seems play way nicer than that older brother of mine, she kindly informed me today that I was tagged. I didn't even have to chase anybody or run away; I love this kind of tag! Isn't she the sweetest?

So per her request here goes...
