My sister would slow down because I had been IT for so long in the gaggle of girls in the backyard. Perhaps she felt sorry for me. I had just turned 7 and she was still 5. I tagged her obliviously and ran away giggling.

I was not IT any longer! Finally after more than 15 minutes. I jumped around in joy.

Then in 30 seconds, I was tag again. And I galloped around the concrete backyard without a care in the world, chasing people again.
