Late 60s, New York suburbs, padiddle (let's spell it right, damnit!)
involved a single burned out headlight. The person who called it first got
to punch someone else. I don't remember a version with kisses as a reward,
but that might be because I remember the game as played by a group of girls
riding around together.
