YOu should have seen the looks we got. Now, Canada has strict laws about car conditions--the old duct-tape-holding-up-the-bumper method, which, as my husband so frequently & humorously points out, is so popular in my hometown of Chicago, doesn't fly up here.
Now, please do not ask why I did this. All I can say is I was watching the kids, not the door. In my defense, that's the first accident I've ever had in my life.
Of course, since we had no door and were driving through the isolated woods of Quebec, it was at this time that we saw the cutest little black bear cub approach our car, about ten feet away. We looked at each other and stepped on the gas a.s.a.p. just as Mom was exiting the woods right behind her youngster.
UtahGirl, I pinged you because I thought you'd find this story funny & would know others why might as well. :) Happy Friday!
