Last night my kids and I took our kites and headed out to the open field near our house. Four jack rabbits were grazing nearby, and we went about our business as they watched intently. About twenty minutes into flying our kites, one of the rabbits suddenly sat bolt upright, and started running across the field at us. I started laughing, and the kids noticed it tearing at us. And they took off running towards it. My son started yelling and waving his arms, the jack rabbit started darting from side to side while still making headway towards them....
It ended with the jackrabbit veering off within the last three feet. It was the most absurd little game of chicken I'd ever seen, and all for no apparent reason (especially why my kids would rush it in turn, which they got quite the lecture for).
Totally bizarre.
