look at this photograph
every time I do it makes me laugh
            
               
                 [Dear Lord...]

Based on facial expressions, my sister and I knew what [might] happen next.
The little guy had a history of slipping behind the wheel, kicking it into gear, and drifting the car down the driveway into either the ditch if he made a sharp turn, or into the road if he got caught-up in the excitement of the ride.
He had done it before.  He would do it several times again.
WHY our parents left keys in the car with this little daredevil is a mystery to me
HOW they coaxed the rest of us to get in a car with him begs to question our level of intelligence.

But there we stood, dressed for church.
Bracing ourselves for the possibilities.
Smiling for the camera.

  4. That is hilarious! What were your parents thinking?! My family just had a great time sharing memories at my daughter's wedding. It's funny that we had different views of the same memories. Did my daughter "fall" into the cactus or did her brother push her? Ha ha!
