Play dead, playing alive, whats the difference when you're somewhere in between anyways? The main thing is that big brother and little sis have found a game they like to do together. He pretends to strangle her and she pretends to die. He pretends to put her in his car trunk(wagon) and she still pretends to be dead. Big brother tires of playing this game after awhile, but little sis hasn't, because she's still playing dead.
