We even survived without car seats or even sea belts. With a long line of BB guns behind me, I still have both eyes. The welts heal pretty fast.

It’s true we survived growing up accidentally not having all that crap. I’d hate mom and dad for putting me at risk but some of that 💩 wasn’t invented yet.

We even survived without car seats

I had a car seat in 1964. It hooked over the front bench passenger seat and had its own steering wheel and horn. None of those pesky belts. 'sides, our '61 Dodge Lancer didn't have any belts or belt anchors. The seat basically was designed to keep me occupied and going out the door. It did that quite well. My mother was also able to keep an eye on me, and I was NEVER left in the car.

Back in the late sixties all of us kids in the neighborhood would watch the city truck fog the trees with DDT to kill the mosquitoes. I guess the saying “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” is true.
