"Hi, my name is Noel and I yell 'BINGO' when I see a yellow car..."
(Hi Noel, it's okay. We're all friends here. Go ahead...)
Okay, just a little diversion and a little confession... Even when my daughter isn't riding in the car with me, I'm still watching for those yellow cars or trucks.
It started just a few months ago. Whenever I had to take the girls somewhere, my youngest would call out "BINGO!" at the yellow vehicles. She said the neighbor girl had made up the game, so I started playing along. Simple enough rules, first one to spot the yellow car calls it out. My daughter likes to pick out EVERY vehicle, including the tractors on the side of the road, but that seems like cheating to me...
(We understand. Go on...)
Then it happened: we were at Lagoon, the local amusement park, stopped at the top of the Ferris Wheel and I heard another girl picking out BINGOs in the parking lot. This was bigger than the neighbor girl. Sure enough, you can find it on the Web and there's even a Facebook page for "Shouting BINGO when you see a yellow car!" Of course, I became a fan...because I can't stop...yelling at yellow cars!
(Well Noel, admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery. Group hug!)
