Don't Punch Back

.

You all have met Zoe, right?
.
She's my baby. She's the sweet and innocent one.



(picture from last school year)
.
I love her tremendously. She is not stingy with her hugs and kisses and she will still hold my hand in public. Zoe is a keeper and then some.
.
But (always a but) as sweet as she is, my Zoe is a fierce competitor when it comes to playing-
Punch Buggy.
.
For being a little squirt, more petite than the average 9 year old girl, Zoe packs a punch. And she has an eagle eye. The school Zoe attends has a teacher that drives a Punch Buggy so as I am busy driving she gets me every morning. Every morning!
.
Last week I spotted a Punch Buggy before Zoe and punched her (that sounds terrible!), just barely because remember that she's petite? Immediately I got punched back twice because apparently my Punch Buggy was a convertible Punch Buggy and those don't count.
.
?
.
Have I mentioned that I also think Zoe cheats at the game of Punch Buggy??
.
Because also just a few nights ago we were all traveling at night on a dark interstate. I was thinking on how blessed I am to have my five children and most especially the sweetest Zoe ever made when BAM! I got punched on the arm and I hear those words (those words!), "Punch Buggy, don't punch back!"
.
"What?!?!? How can you SEE any cars, it's dark?!" I demanded to know.
.
Zoe giggled and said, "I had a feeling one drove by."
.
.

p.s. Not feeling motivated to vote today?
Watch this. It's a slow start but the end is
great and motivating! VOTE!

Our kids used to play Yellow Car. Finally had to ban all contestants from the game.
