Default I saw it first!

I am sure many of you have stories like this, but I recently went to our local Hobby Lobby Store. As I was pulling into the lot, turning down the aisle of the parking lot, I saw a mini-van unloading it's contents (two kids, approx. 9-10 years old and a bunch of adults). As I whizzed around the corner, the boy jumped out of the right side of the van and ran around to the girl getting out of the left side of the car, pointing at me all the way around the car, with a big smile on his face. Now, you KNOW where he was going...PUNCH! Right in the arm. And I could just hear him yelling "Did you see that yellow bug? I saw it first!!!".

I have to say, it made me laugh right out loud and I had this huge smile on my face for quite a while. The people inside the store probably thought I was losing my mind...they just don't understand!

I had a gentleman who kept following me on the freeway last night. He would occasionally pull up next to me and wave. Then, when I exited, he flashed his lights and honked, then waved. The whole time he had this stupid happy grin on his face. Poor guy was driving a minivan. Methinks someone's a Beetle lover deep down. I just kind of laughed at him and waved back.

Oh yay, that means maybe the beetles that I've stalked down the highway previously might have had the same happy reaction, and not the impulse to call the highway patrol on the crazy me. I've done the exact same happy wave and heart signs and pointing and such, hehe

My husband and I started that game also, but its never punches, just taps or simply pointing them out. I swear that man has eagle eyes.

We do "love" taps.. Only because Lance can't handle the pain.. No really, with his injuries from the army. We have to be careful so we do love taps.. Plus we can't go around punching on lil peanut yet.. Gotta wait till she gets older.. lol.. Just picking.. Oh speaking of, time for me to go get her from school..
