PUNCH BUGGY!!!
I like to play a game in the car with the kids called Punch-Buggy. Whenever you see a Volkswagen bug you say "PUNCH-BUGGY! It doesn't matter if it's a new bug or one from BC...it still counts. We used to say "PUNCH-BUGGY! - NO punch backs -because you were allowed to punch the person next to you LIGHTLY. However we had to fore-go that part of the game because Matthew took it as his license to knock the crap out of anyone within arms distance, so now we just say PUNCH-BUGGY! and leave our hands to ourselves. Ashley is the one who got us started on this game when we drove up to Georgia/Tennessee a couple of summers ago. It was a long drive and they were bored so all I heard was PUNCH-BUGGY! every few miles and then someone would get punched and a fight would break-out... Ashley also taught us another game. This game doesn't have a name per-say but you get yourself in full view of a BIG TRUCK and pump your arm wildly like you are trying to do arm fart. The main objective of the game is to get the trucker to blown his horn when he sees you. When a trucker would blow his horn at the kids, they would act like they had accomplished a great feat. Slapping hands, -ALRIGHT!- ...high fives. Matt still likes to try this game with the truckers here at home and I have tried to explain to him WHY truckers going down Hillsbourgh Ave in traffic won't do this but he remains firm... Anyway this game with PUNCH-BUGGY is like breathing with me now. I really don't WANT to play it, but when I see a Beatle Bug car I just can't control myself ...I MUST SCREAM -PUNCH-BUGGY!!! Teresa went out with me one Saturday shopping and it like to have drove her crazy. When Lana mentioned she might go with me to pick my mom up in Georgia/Tennessee, Teresa warned her ahead of time. "She plays punch-buggy and if she gets to talking too much she doesn't pay attention to where she is going and you might end-up in another state..."
Now that my mom is down here she is having to get used my Punch-Buggy ways. She jumped the first few times I yelled it...but the other day she said "Must we play THAT game? I told her, "well... I was thinking of changing to a different type of car." With that she took me completely by surprise and yelled, "JEEP!" Matt was the only one with us and he had been listening to our conversation. He saw a jeep and instantly jumped-up and yelled, "JEEP!" All the way home they both screamed "JEEP"! I almost had an accident! And what's so great about Jeeps? I don't even have mine anymore?
