Duck, duck, goose usually starts with one of the boys running around and ducking me or his brother, no matter where we are. There is no sitting in a circle involved! If N is starting it, he will eventually find a goose, then both boys (even if I'm the goose) will run wildly around the apartment, in no apparent direction. Again, no circle. It's even funnier if it's e, because he can't say "goose" so everything is a duck. Then for some reason (that only he seems to know) he will decide to take off running after one of his "ducks"... again, not in a circle. This random ducking and running can go on for quite some time, with very little order!
Red light, green light is usually played by running in a circle around the island in the kitchen. The funny thing is N will only play if he is in charge, really. I was telling this to my friend Lynn, and she asked which one of his parents he got that from. I responded, "Um, that would be both of us..." I'm hoping one of our family members will comment and say we weren't bossy children... but unfortunately I think I know better!

Yes, you may be right about E wanting to be in charge as a child.
