Do You Hear Me? Stay!

A woman pulled into a crowded parking lot and rolled down the car windows to make sure her Labrador Retriever had fresh air. She was stretched out on the back seat, and she wanted to impress upon her that she must remain there. The woman walked to the curb backward, pointing her finger at the car and saying emphatically, "Now you stay. Do you hear me? Stay!"

The driver of a nearby car gave the woman a startled look. "I don't know about you, lady," he said incredulously. "But I usually just put my car in park."
