Mom jumped out of the car because of Rex's blasphemy.

Mom got upset at Dad's blasphemy, reached her foot over to the driver's side, and stomped on the brake. It was the middle of the night, and Mom bolted out of the car and ran into the darkness.

The children merely braced themselves, leading us to believe this wasn't an extraordinary occurrence.

Lori, Brian, and I braced one another with our arms, like we always did when Dad went on some wild chase that we knew would get bumpy.
