Technicalities

A conversation recounted to me from the walk home yesterday:

M: Tag! You’re It!
(a few seconds later)
M: Tag again! You’re It!
D: No way! You just touched me, so you made yourself It! Haha!
M: No, you’re just more It.
(runs away)
(D chases, gets kind of close)

M: T.O.! [time-out]
D: Tag is the simplest possible two-person game, and you’re cheating!
M: I don’t want to play anymore.
(pause)
M: But you’re still It.
