You're It!

 

Robin: Hey, do you guys wanna play tag?
Barbara: Sure, but you have to play by our rules.
Robin: Your rules?
Beatrix: Don't worry.  They're not that much different.  You'll catch on fast.

Barbara: Rule number one is that you're 'it' first.
Robin: Hmmph!


Robin: Tag!  You're it!
Beatrix: Can't tag us here because it's gool.
Robin: You should have told me that ahead of time.
Barbara The rules don't require it.

Robin: Tag!
Barbara: Can't tag us here.
Robin: You can't have more than one gool!
Beatrix: We don't. This is where the 'cosmic rays' are.  
They protect us from getting tagged.
Robin: >mutter, grumble, mutter, grumble<

Robin: Tag!  Fair and square!  No gool, no cosmic rays!
Beatrix: You used the wrong hand.  You have to use your right hand if we're running north or south; left hand if we're running east or west.
Barbara: Unless it's a day beginning with the letter 'T'.

Robin: I quit.  I'm tired of this game.

Barbara: Well how do you like that?!?
Beatrix: Yeah!  He acts like it's our fault that we made up the rules!

Well I'm surprised Robin lasted as long as he did ! Having to use the right hand or left depending which way they were running ! Cosmic ! The poor boy didn't stand a chance.
Love how the girls don't think it was their flexible rules that made him give up !

Great photos! LOve the one they are all running - one can see how fast they run! But I think those rules are a bit, hmm... difficult...

oh, wow, girls... that was just plain mean!! You really owe Robin a special treat or apology! It did make me laugh all the crazy rules they managed to come up with!

Poor Robin! Next time, he'll have to make up some own rules, to surprise the girls.
I LOVE the girls' pinafore dresses.
