On Wednesday morning, Brad parked his Jeep on the street so that he could get the dumpster out of the garage. I had the girls' all buckled in their seats in the van and as I was backing out of the garage, I noticed that the Jeep was rolling down our street, by itself! I just sat there staring for a few seconds not knowing what to do. Then I jumped out of the van (after putting the emergency brake on) and ran down the driveway stop the Jeep. I tried, with all my strength, to "hold" the Jeep back, but watched helplessly as it took out our mailbox. Just at the moment, Brad jumped in and stopped it. PHEW! Thank goodness no one got hurt. I was surprised that none of our neighbors came outside when they heard me screaming and honking the horn. I later found out that one of our neighbors looked out the window and thought we were having a "domestic dispute", so he didn't want to get involved. Funny! The only fight was between the mailbox and the Jeep and we know who won!
