Punchbuggy, No Punch Back!

My daughter has an uncanny ability to spot Volkswagen Bugs. Punch buggies to our family.

If you're unfamiliar to the game, every time someone sees a punch buggy they yell, often loudly over a brother or sister, "Punch buggy, no punch back!" and lightly punches them. It's a treasured form of bonding family entertainment for us.

It's a daily game to see who remembers to spot the yellow punch buggy at the end of our street each morning. Sometimes there's even two punch buggies in the school parking lot. My daughter's most incredible sighting was as our flight was landing in Chicago this summer. As the cars gradually came into view during our descent, she gleefully yelled, "Punch buggy silver, no punch back!"

We're all still astounded. She's going to be a great bargain shopper or eagle-eyed mom one day.
