While I was in the dollar store this evening, I came across something that intrigued me very much. I was in the toy section when I saw this mini Green Volkswagen Beetle. I'm not one to buy useless items but I couldn't help myself from making this purchase (after all it was only a dollar).
When I was in my early teens, these cars could be spotted anywhere and everywhere. They were very unique in style and always created a fun game of "Punch Buggy". If you are not familiar with this game, the rules are rather simple. When you spot one on the road, it is your duty to punch whomever is with you and simple say "Punch Buggy". It was a very annoying game when the cars were popular. Now it's not so bad though I do enjoy the sense of nostalgia when I get to do it.
Before I was able to drive, I wanted this car. It was bold and could be easily seen from far away. Green was my favorite color and I felt this particular shade expressed a quirkiness that best suited my personality. Somewhere along the way I forgot about how much I loved this car. When I see it now it reminds me of the great times I had just being a naive teenager. The days when I wanted to be a famous actress and live in Hollywood California.
Those days might be long gone but the dreamer in me isn't. She still pops up from time to time with new ideas for the future.
