Kids Playing Cops and Robbers

 Four kids were playing at the park the other day when I walked through with Sarge.   This is what I saw and overheard:

The boy with glasses, screaming in a nasally whine, "I'm the undercover cop and you don't know I'm a cop until I bring out my gun like this."  He made a gun with his fingers.  "Then I'm going to arrest you all.  I'm taking you downtown."

One of the other boys:  "But I'm FBI and I'm undercover too."

"Yeah so am I," both the other boys hollered in unison. 

The first kid:  "No!  I'm the only cop and you have to be the bad guys.  That's the way it is.  No FBI.  Now I'm going to arrest you and you act surprised."

"This is a stupid game.  I'm going to the playground to play Lava."

"No.  You have to get arrested."  That's when the boy with glasses tried to push the other boy to the ground.  Maybe to cuff him or something.

Then things got a bit ugly.  The boy with glasses ended up on the ground and the arrestee kicked him once.  It wasn't too bad and it didn't look like it was even going to make a mark, but the glasses boy started crying really loud. 

"I guess you should've called for backup." 

And the other three boys headed to the playground.

Should've had his taser. You don't have to be fit or know how to defend yourself if you have a taser.

Lava?! Unbelievable.

I'll give the bossy kid a taser . . . that'll make the playground fun.

Lava . . . who doesn't love a game where you can't touch the ground?

What is Lava???

[CV Rick]

It's where you pretend the ground or the sand is Lava and you navigate the entire playground by staying on the play equipment. The last one to touch the lava wins.
