ATTACKED!!!!

Ok, so short post. I was run/walking today around my usual neighborhood, but it was later than I usually go so there were a few kids that were home from, like, first grade playing in the front yard. I was walking at this point and this little boy with two fake swords (that could be sheathed on his back) come up to me in slow motion and taps me with the two black swords. So I say "ahhh, you got me!" and keep walking. Then his brother/friend/another little boy comes out of the door. Sword-boy tells me that he got his swords at the Big K, then the other boy has to show me his watch and tell me that he got that at the Big K too. I was kindof walking through the whole thing, I didn't think that stopping to talk to random little kids was a good idea, not that the kids would hurt me, but I didn't want the neighbors to talk "yeah, there was this weird chick talking with those boys." They kind of followed me for a while though, like it was another full house before I stopped being attacked and I got the feeling that that was the limit to where they could play, like they would have kept going, but weren't allowed. Though what kind of parent sets up play-boundries but doesn't teach "STRANGER DANGER" to their kids, I have no idea.

Also, there was a little blond girl in some kind of princess costume, I want to say it was tinkerbell in princess-dress form, not fairy form.

  1. I like to imagine that there was an invisible electric fence set up that, if they passed a certain point, it would shock them into next week!
