Tag Flipball???

My 4 year old was outside playing around in the yard and asked me a question- Here is how the conversation went....


Tanner: "Mommy... Do you wanna play flip-ball?"


Mommy: "Do I want to play what???" (confused look on my face)


Tanner: "Do you wanna play tag flipball?" (he is looking at me like I was crazy!!)


Mommy: (realizing he had a football behind his back) "Do you mean football??"


Tanner: "YES the tag kind!!"


Mommy: "Okay what do I do?"


Tanner: "You try to catch me - while I run - and then you jump on top - on top of me - and then you push me down!" Then you take the flipball (voice getting higher in octaves) and run I get to push you!"


Mommy: "Tanner I don't think you want Mommy to tackle you - it might hurt!"


Tanner (shrugging shoulders) "Okay"


and away he goes......
