Mostly they don't even hit anymore, they just say "Blue one, no punch backs" because they can't reach all their siblings and me. And there's a certain status in being the first to say it now. But even if they're just saying it, they still argue about who said it first.

Mom demanded that it be a gentle tap because 1) I can't drive with all that screaming and 2) MOMMY BRUISES EASILY. CUT THAT SHIT OUT.<br /><br />They tap now. :)Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11942223629303845455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2441873745400594431.post-87381503638410942302014-09-22T15:09:28.323-07:002014-09-22T15:09:28.323-07:00I can kinda remember playing that game with my bro...I can kinda remember playing that game with my brother - but I think my mom outlawed it fairly quickly.

Mostly because, holy hell, they sock me hard in the arm while I'm driving and I practically swerve off the road. You can't hit your siblings any harder than you'd hit me while I'm actually driving. They're now down with what amounts to a little "tap" vs an actual SLUG. Otherwise this game would be outlawed altogether.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11942223629303845455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2441873745400594431.post-1158813252762351862014-09-21T19:48:52.402-07:002014-09-21T19:48:52.402-07:00I actually never played that game until I was a te...I actually never played that game until I was a teenager and my older stepbrother introduced me to it.

My dad was (and still is) a bit of a tyrant, so my brother and I playing any kind of disruptive game in the car would have been met with severe consequences. And there was that time my dad drove us from New York to Florida in a 1970 Chevy Vega. Something we never, ever wanted to repeat again.Opticynicismhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09059382464905100473noreply@blogger.com
