There are some adults out there that are still " it " from childhood games of tag.
OMFG!! You're right! I never did tag anyone that night...I was by the mulberry tree, thinking of Noreen and those plaid shorts, it was getting dark...I was it. I was it! I was IT!!!....
It's worse than that WAB. You're still it. You've been it for most of your life.
Other than a rigorous search through facebook to try to find one of the other people who were there, and tagging them, I can only suggest It-Therapy.
That said, I don't recall it ever being fully explained what 'it' was. Sure, as kids we all agreed it was something to be gotten out of, but what do kids know?
At the very least, it surely means being special.
