[QUOTE="DDD, post: 444547, member: 35"] OMG! In a million years I never would have guessed that those drills continued past the 40's and 50's. I'll have to ask my adult children if they ever had drills...if they did they didn't share it with me and all of them were talkers. In a sick way this thread is really funny. The "gum" and "paper" threats and the "no candy" all were part of my childhood but at least at my house those never were shared. on the other hand, I did stress that it was impossible to know a "bad person" from a "good person" based on their appearance so [B]never [/B]be friendly with strangers. Who knows?? Maybe that caused fear in the kids, too. I just grew up with a visual picture of scarey bad men taking children away so I was sure that nice looking adults were ok. Thanks heavens I didn't appeal to strangers and my kids didn't either! DDD [/QUOTE]
