Grope Buggy Blue!

While driving the five hours to Blacksburg and back over the last two days, Rich and I were trying to come up with things to pass the time. It was a treat to have so many empty hours with him to just talk about whatever was in our heads. I wrote down several things he said because they were so clever, but we'll see how many of those I share over time. Somewhere along Interstate 81, we passed a blue Volkswagen Beetle and I blurted out "punch buggy blue".

Him: "But you didn't punch me."

Me: "Yeah, I've never really liked that game because it's always seemed kind of mean to punch someone you love just because you saw a car first."

Him: "I wouldn't punch you, baby."

Me: "Maybe we can just replace the punching with something else."

Him: "GROPE BUGGY BLUE!"

I don't have to tell you what we did for the rest of the drive. Rich claims he's still learning how the game works, though, because I swear several times there wasn't a Volkswagen in sight. But now it's not just fun for the first person to see the car.
