Hello how may I help you? Hello, we are about to begin a game of tag and I am debating with my brothers about the rules of the game. Sure! And what would you like to know about tag? Well, we are trying to figure out the proper way to select who is it first. I say we do enee minie miny mo. My brother says we should have a punching contest to see who punches the most softly. Well, the first person to ask who's "it", is "it"! Punching would induce violence, which, unfortunately would not work in a game of tag. Ah, I see. Well, sadly, that person was me. Are there any loopholes to the rule? Nope. It's as easy and simple as it sounds: the first one to ask who's "it" is "it"! Well, I hate it. But, I am glad that we avoided the punching contest. Yes, that would be a very wise decision as to not cause serious harm to one another in a game. So, true. Thank you. You're very welcome. I hope that you and your brother enjoy your game of tag in the proper way! Me, too!
