Punch...Cruiser?

originally posted 18 NOV 2014

My eleven year old has discovered the joy of playing Punch Buggy.

If you haven't played (hard to believe but suppose it is possible), when you see a Volkswagon Beetle, you punch the other person while simultaneously yelling, "Punch Buggy." Some people play the same game but yell, "Slug Bug!"

I can thank my husband for teaching our daughter this game.

That's all well and good but my daughter, with her dyslexia, can get easily confused. Often she sees PT Cruisers and gleefully yells, "Punch Buggy," while taking a whack at me.

I've never realized how many people have PT Cruisers but you tend to notice when your arm gets punched anytime you pass one or one passes you on the road.

I'm starting to think a more apt name should be 'Bruiser Cruiser'.
