by The Mom over at Shoved to Them
She’s another Imelda Marcos of Running Shoes, and she better be running in them.
I should be better at this. I was great at tag when I was a kid. Being short and able to run fast was a big help.
1. The rules of the game get posted on the beginning.
2. Each player answers the questions about himself.
3. At the end of the post, the player tags five people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they’ve been tagged and asking them to read their blog.
