This happened in late May of 1949. I know this because mom was about due to bring our new baby sister Michelle into our family. She was very "large with child". We had an old two door car. To get in and out of the backseat, all you had to do is push the front seat forward. There were no buttons ect. to make it difficult for a 3 1/2 year old child.
We had gone to the grocery store. When we got home mom had a bag of groceries in each arm and her big tummy in the middle. She used her elbow to pull the seat forward for me to get out. I was in the backseat on the far side of the car. I started giggling and wiggling and said "say DUCK" mommy". Mom said "come on Jackie get out". Once again I said"say DUCK". We exchanged this conversation a couple more time and mom finally said "OK DUCK--now get out of the car!!!" Some would call this funny (me for instance), some would call it frustrating (mom for instance), but I ask this---why didn't she just day DUCK to begin with?!!!!
