In our household, white horses are known as "zits." And whenever you see a zit, you scream, "Zit!!! Me win!!!" (as Cole does) as loud as you can because he who gets the most zits wins.
It all started when I was a kid and my Grandpa Jewkes needed something to entertain me and my brother. He told us that whenever we saw a white horse, to say, "zit." I really have no idea if he actually played the zit game when he was a kid or just made it up to keep us quiet in the car. But it's something that I'll always remember about Grandpa. And it works pretty good for distracting two whiny, crying kids in the car.... until they both claim they saw the same zit at the same time. Or argue about how you can't say zit for every single horse no matter what color they are (apparently we need to work on colors with Cole). Or get in a debate with your husband about whether a zit was really a zit or a "golden" zit or a "dirty" zit.
