I guess i was 6 or 7 years old when this happened....
It was the same ol normal routine, my mother got me and my little sister ready for the day and put us in the car so she could drop us off before she went to work.
That day we decided that we were gonna play race car driver while mom ran back inside real quick. So one of us is playing with the steering wheel and the other one is shifting the column shifter from P through 1st as fast as we could
shoot, mom was coming back to the car so my little sis climbs back in to the back seat and i sit in the pass side like a little angel.
Mom gets in & trys to start the old station wagon and it wouldnt start, (this thing had problems so mom was very familiar with it under the hood)
She gets out and gets under the hood, does her magic and the car starts right up, and immediatly starts rolling in reverse (we didnt get it back in park after playing racecar driver
)
Luckily we had a long, dirt driveway out in the country.
Mom yells "push the brakes" as she is chasing the car down in heels , I think great here is my chance... I jump to the drivers seat and try to push the breaks but i can bearly reach them ......the car wasnt stopping. (i think this was the first time i said **** outloud
)
Luckily mom was in pretty good shape because next thing i see is the door swing open and mom managed to get the car stopped just before we exited the driveway.
I thought i was the luckiest guy in the world when Mom said that she wouldnt tell Dad about any of it
