Anything For Chocolate

The kids have been following me around begging me to play freeze tag with them. They seem unhappy with my version (pretending I'm not paying attention and slapping them in the face, yelling 'FREEZE!' whenever they venture near). Now, I've been playing hide and seek for the last half hour or so, and am not particularly in the mood to play freeze tag. So I tell them that if they pick up the house, which currently looks like a tornado blew threw, that I will play. During this negotiation, Claire runs by with my last bar of dark chocolate. I scream. Emma declares, "Whoever catches her gets to eat it!!" Frenzy ensues. Absolute madness. I guess they found a way to make me chase them after all.
