you're hunted!

I should have included this with the last post...
this is a love note Zack wrote for his dad.
(I didn't help him spell it, but I'm sure his older brothers did.)

Although this may not be interesting to anyone else, it's something that needs to be recorded for our family archives. A few months ago, Zack went up to Aaron with a finger gun and said, "You're hunted!" In Zack's NY accent it's one word that sounds like "Yuh-hunted." For some reason, the phrase stuck.. but to add dramatic affect, it has to be said in the deepest voice possible. It's become the saying for hide & seek. When you spot someone, you let them know they're hunted. It's also become the new NOT-IT game in our house. Someone (usually Zack) will start out by saying, "Ben, yuh-hunted" which means Ben is out... If Zack names everyone before he gets hunted himself, then he wins. What is more annoying about this "game" is that anyone can RESET the score at anytime. So it can go on for ten minutes... each of the kids resetting over and over and over. I refuse to play but the minute Aaron gets home from work, he hunts down all the kids and they love it. Zack has tried to think of new ways to win.. like hiding before Daddy can see him. Then he jumps out of hiding and announces "Dad! Yuh-hunted!!" A few days ago, he got a brilliant idea... to write a hunted note and stick it on Dad as soon as he walked through the door. Aaron took the note off his back and acted like he died as soon as he read it. Of course, all of the boys thought that was the BEST.thing.EVER. I basically rolled my eyes and pretended to be annoyed by all of their nonsense. There are some things about boys that I will never understand..
