Yes and she forgot something once and ran back to the house when we lived in Oxford, Mississippi, apparently at the top of a big hill. Somehow my infant brother grabbed the gear stick and shifted the car into neutral and we rolled back down the driveway and but for the car getting caught on a barb wire fence we would have gone over a massive hill 100s of feet maybe to our deaths. Nobody could figure out how he did it, maybe it just slipped or something but I was in back seat so I didn’t do it.

I was about to turn 3 when Adam Walsh (6) was abducted from a Sears in Hollywood, FL., in 1981. That notorious incident struck a lot of fear in parents in the early/mid ‘80s. Probably not a lot of young children were left alone in public in those days.
I remember the aftermath vividly enough that after a trip to the Everglades (when I had a few hours to burn before turning in my rental car) I drove over to the area of the former Sears (now a Target) to look around. It was eerie.

One time I reached over the seat and put the car in reverse, I assume at the time you didn't have to press the brake.
My sister and I went for a ride backwards and ran in a ditch across the street.
or that's how I remember it
