Rules of the game

As I don’t work Mondays I usually walk Jade to her school bus as I did this morning.
“Slug Bug black grandpa.”
“Ow!”
“Slug Bug red.”
“Ow again, you know Jade you need to learn the rules of slug bug.”
“Why grandpa?”
“You are meant to call out ‘Slug Bug’ and the color of the car and punch someone in the arm, gently. But you are only meant to do it when you see a VW Beetle car, it can be the old version or the modern version but it the car has to be the Beetle not just any VW car.”
“Grandpa, beetles, we’re talking about cars not beetles!”
“No, the Beetle is the VW car, oh never mind. Look slug bug blue.”
“Ow, grandpa, that was a bus!”
“I know, I am playing by your rules.”

LOL! I have a friend who’s really good at the whole “slug bug” thing. She’s always seeing them before I can.
I’m grateful she hits me gently, otherwise I would just be a big giant bruise by now.
It is worse when they make the rules up on the fly.
