What cracks me up is that everyone seemed to play this game but everyone called out their own unique names. We never did the punch thing but did do "Tied, you owe me a Coke!" if we called it out at the same time and whoever won the Coke quick-draw got that Bug scored to them. But think about how we kept ourselves occupied for hours without the need for DVDs or all the other nonsense they have these days.
BTW, the worst thing for my Mom was never having a little girl. You know how some girls are never good enough for Mommy's son? Not in our house! Man, any girl who walked in the door was such a relief from all the testosterone that my mother welcomed them with open arms.
LOL! How many brothers did you have?
We always played the Alphabet Game with billboards. My dad made all the rules, though. No highway signs, no playing within city limits, so he could pay attention to driving.
I wonder if he really played. I was always tempted to cheat (because no one knew what letter anyone else was on, you kept it to yourself), but I never did.
The best was always to see a Quaker State Motor Oil sign - and you always did, but usually when you were on about C or D, lol. It was automatically Q-R-S-T-U.
