More like road shock!
I can't believe that this incident hasn't remained indelibly engraved in my memory.

To wit:

Driving in traffic-packed inner-city Melbourne on the way to my grandparents, my little brother (about 4 or 6?) and I were sitting in the kiddie seats in the boot of a Volvo (they face the back of the car).

I have no idea why he thought it was a good idea at the time, but he started to pull his pants down. Suddenly noticing what he was doing, I tried to pull them back up but he started whinging and crying!

Noticing the sea of faces behind us in all the cars I tried desperately to pull them up and asked my dad to take charge, but my pleas went ignored.

Not satisfied with his trousers being down he then proceeded to pull his underwear down, in a manner that could only be described as exhibitionist in nature...

As the woman behind us looked on in shock I set about trying to pull them up... to no avail - he refused to allow them to be brought up...

Thoroughly sick of this I just sat back and watched in stony silence out the large back window as the different people came and went, seeing my brother reclining there with his penis flapping around.

After about 10 minutes of this uncomfortable, embarrassing journey I tried again and managed to get him to pull everything up again. I can only guess that what put his toddler's brain into this track was the feeling that he was too warm.

He must have quickly forgotten about it because when I reminded him years later he didn't believe it. I take a lot of pleasure in routinely reminding him and everybody he knows about this story. Vive la blackmail :)
