Ankle Biter

I do love to play with D&D. Sometimes I think that they are not in the mood for fun and games. One of my favorite games is to hide underneath the front hall table. The tablecloth almost touches the floor, so D&D do not know that I am hiding .... waiting for them. When they pass by the hall table - POUNCE! I jump out and grab their ankles, and plant a little nip there. Ohhhhh they do not like that at all. At first they jump, as if they stepped onto something wet or sticky. Then they get mad, and yell at me to knock it off. The truth be known, they are not really mad at me. They know that I love to play this game. I do it almost everyday. They should be used to it by now. What they are truly made at - is themselves, because they got suckered into a false state "everything is fine." So I am actually teaching them a life lesson. Reminding them that anything can happen at anytime. I am teaching them to expect the unexpected. In fact - they should be thanking me! Sheesh!! Sometimes humans just need to lighten up.
