VW Punch Backs

The question is...Do you allow your kids to VW punch? For those scratching your head, it is the game where the first person to spot and call out a VW vehicle (it use to be only the bugs) gets to punch the other in the arm. Karl and I have been back and forth on this issue, but it really come down to the kids' mood at the time. If they are tired and cranky, then the punches turn into screams of abuse. When they are in good spirits, it becomes a car full of giggles and laughs. So, me being the dainty girl from the all sisters family, declared only light, feather punches so as to not have the calls for abuse and still have some fun watching the world as we drive down the road.


One day, while the kiddos were still a bit sleepy, I was driving around in the city. As we came upon our interstate entrance, we passed by a VW car lot. From behind my seat I heard the familiar excited intake of air and the expelling of the words "Jack Pot!" Both children immediately started to throw light arm taps and squeal in delight.
