Scenes from A Marriage - Slug Bug!

Kevin and I play a game similar to Slug Bug and we are never not playing.  It started when we bought his big truck.  It is the situation of once you've bought something, you see them everywhere.

Like Slug Bug, you have to be the first to announce when you see it.  (there is no slugging)  In our case, the rules are specific: it has to be a 2nd Generation Dodge or extra points if it's a 1st Generation Dodge. (don't worry if you don't know what that is)

We've been playing for a few years and it's just habit now.  We can be together, in a group, on the phone, or not even together.

The Nephew and I traveled together a few weekends ago.  Like a silly version of Tourette's, I kept saying "Dodge"  Finally I had to explain what was wrong with me.  (I also had to explain that this wasn't a game we play with his SensitivePants father because he ruins everything)  Then I had to teach him the rules.

The rules however are fluent and ever-changing.  It used to be we both had to see it.  Then I'd send a photo so there was an amendment.  Or Kevin would call it when we were on the phone.

THEN we began to assign points.  Sometimes one of use will call the wrong truck, so that's minus a point.  There was a debate as to whether the driver or passenger gets the point when we both call it.  (the driver wins because extra observation. Although it should be the OPPOSITE OF THAT, REALLY) There were extra points added when Kevin called one that was in the background of a movie set on television.

It's just one of those silly things that generate when someone is in a relationship for a long time.

Always read Kevin and Me with a sarcasm/smart assery tone
