This story is probably hard to imagine for younger people but our family would go to church Sunday mornings by packing 6 kids in the back seat and the smallest in front between my mom and dad.
Getting everyone to get in the car, both ways, was a chore and there were many times mom and dad miscounted and we left someone behind. I was left at the KofC Christmas party one year. When Mom couldn’t find me at home she realized what had happened and sent dad back to get me. I was just having a good time.
But the time we all talk about the most was when one of us did not close the door tightly enough and the door opened when my dad turned left after a stop sign. Sheila fell out and I will never forget her chasing our car while we all screamed for dad to stop.
