12/25/05, my other grandmother's house - Kids' games are funny things. The most intelligent was probably
Sardines, where one person hides and everyone else tries to find that person and hide with them. The last one to
show up loses. Maybe this is an allegory to finding a nuclear fallout shelter. The worst one was Duck Duck Goose.
I'm still trying to figure out what the incentive is to not get caught by the person you tag. The only punishment
awaiting a loser is to have to sit "in the pot", which just means you sit in the middle of the circle. I think if
there was literally a boiling pot of water in the middle of the circle, the game would be a lot more interesting.
