I pulled the car into the garage and forgot to pull the emergency brake. Turns out I left it in neutral too. As I was untying my shoes it rolled backwards down the driveway. My kid is yelling at me and tugging at my pant leg. "Dad! Dad!" he says pointing at the car. I turned around and it was on its way rolling out the garage.
The really stupid part came when I grabbed onto the front bumper as if I had the strength to slow it down or stop it. It was headed towards the neighbors car. Finally using my brain, I ran to the drivers side window and turned the wheel to avoid hitting the car.
I find I listen more to my kids when they scream now.
