Joe and I have been playing a dangerous game. It's the "not it" game complete with finger on nose and even thumb on forehead to increased insurance. With a finger on your nose and a thumb on your forehead, you really are not it.
Dog wants out.
Not it!
Caitlynn needs help with homework.
Not it!
Miles needs a glass of milk.
Um... Not it!
It's gotten to the point where neither of us wants to do anything around the house. Help the kids? Ha. Not it. It's becoming a dangerous game and the kids are totally clueless. They wonder why we won't get off the sofa and why our fingers are on our noses. What's wrong with our parents? Daddy has his finger on his nose. That's just weird.
I guess I'm a little worried about our game because I'm much slower at catching on than Joe. As soon as one of the kids (or the dog) come begging for help (Miles -- I need my butt wiped!), Joe immediately puts his finger on his nose. He's quick draw McGraw, that Joe. I'm a little jealous... I wanna be that quick because I usually get stuck wiping Miles butt, letting the dog out, or seeing what Caitlynn is complaining about. And it leads me to wonder why Miles can't wipe his own butt and why Caitlynn has so many issues lately (she's 10... that explains a lot, actually). The dog can't let herself out, although that would be nice.
Either this "not it" game needs to stop or I need to work on my speed. What kind of conditioning should I be doing to beat Joe at "not it?" I wonder... I'll watch the exercise channel to see if they have any moves I can do to improve my timing.
Because the option to stop playing just isn't there at this time. I mean, really, who wants to get up every 5 minutes to help Miles and Caitlynn? They can be demanding little turkeys.
Not it.
