Yes. Because it's fun! Girls like being chased by boys and boys like being chased by the police or angry neighbours .

Is this done on one special day or is it just anytime? If it's done on one specific day, why on that day? That's what I don't get.

It is done once a year only on Easter Monday.

Oh! Thanks for explaining that. I had never heard of it before. I wonder why this tradition started.

So, do kids only do this or adults, too?

"Tradition states that girls who get caught and soaked with water will marry within the year."

Yes it's really good fun My grandmother always say to us (me and my sister) not to soak her and she attach to her back a paper which is saying: "I would not like to get soaked, please live me alone" - it's working perfectly

The best I can do is mail you a water-baloon and you can squirt it all over yourself.

You better use old-school baloons filled with water and bucket - with them you can use hit nad run tactic which is the best among water combat strategies
