One morning a couple of weeks ago, in between classes, I leaned on
the sixth floor balcony watching the kindergarten kids playing in the
yard. Their game was this. The boys and girls lined up facing each
other. Each girl chose a boy by pointing at him. Then they all ran
around with the girls trying to catch their chosen boys. When one was
caught he had to stop moving while the girl held tightly onto him.
However if one of his uncaught friends could tag him she had to
release him and start the chase again.
Seems like there ought to be a metaphor for life in there somewhere.
