What a cute pup!
I had a 1966 MGB (very tiny 2 seater sportster) when I was about 20, over 40 years ago. After I first got it I pulled into a parking space and parked. When I tried to back out to leave I couldn't get it in reverse no matter what I did. Four young guys were walking by and each one of them picked up a
corner of the MGB and lifted me and the car right out of the parking space! I later learned I had to press down on the gearshift to get it in reverse. I will never forget that day. I loved that car and had many great adventures with it. Thanks for reminding me of the fun I had. I am undergoing chemo right now and it cheered me up!

Thank you all for the reactions about the MGB. I started reading these comments because my mom had Lewey Body dementia and recently passed away. I never knew what to say to her when she would say things that were "wrong." I tried to correct her and she made me mad because she didn't change the way she thought. My brother told me to stop correcting her, he said it upset her. After reading all these posts I wish I would have "got it" and just enjoyed my time with her. I miss her now that she is gone and wish I would have been more understanding of her situation. I wish I would have read these comments BEFORE. I don't think children should be caretakers, they should be able to be in the role of children. Too much stress and that caused me to yell at my mom. Some of my guilt has eased since reading these posts. My mom was 87.
