Did you ever wonder who in the world thought up the idea of the Punch Bug Game? Well I did the first time Mary Beth hauled off and whacked me in the arm.
Now I am not one to think it is funny to hit the mom...Here's the scenario: We are in the van coming back from picking Marybeth up from the Dad's house. Hot cranky and she wants food...or to do something "fun".
Well next thing I know my cute little innocent angel hauls off and whacks the crap out of my arm. Years and years of motherhood has not prepared me for this uprising. My eye twitching because I saw Mary's life flash before my eyes. Then I turned to her calmly ok who am I kidding. I turned and said " have you lost your mind? What the heck did you hit me for and don't you know that people........." She smiles and says " Yellow Punch Bug no Punch Backs!!!" I said "where looked in my mirror and said that was a PT Cruiser!!!"
We are gingerly going down the road me rubbing my arm and her just a smiling away. Here it comes again.
POW! Mary Beth that is not a punch bug that is another PT Cruiser. SO I did what any good mom would do. I thought about the lesson in all of this. I also said games on honey. We drove around town for about an hour just scoping out driveways, parking lots, ball parks, etc... Then I realized that I live in Lewisburg WV not exactly a thriving metropolis. So the name of the game is BEEP BEEP there's a JEEP!!!
She so does not like me now. We have a Jeep Dealership in town. I know its funny isn't it. Well the only problem is that now I am constantly on the ready. We have to be because at any given time one of the kids could spot some random Jeep like a liberty and here it comes.
I feel like I got the tattoo without the needle. I have a permanent bruise in the shape of a fist. But when I'm feeling mommafied I just drive by the dealership and get it out.
Now when your kids ask who started the BEEP BEEP there's a JEEP game you can let them know. ME
