[QUOTE="donna723, post: 14425, member: 1883"] It was a miracle that some of us survived at all! I remember staying at my grandparents' house in Louisville for a week or so at a time when I was really little. This was waaaay back before seat belts or car seats for kids were even thought of. They had an old Plymouth sedan and we'd go on long Sunday drives in the country after church, and I'd sit between them in the front seat. But I was too little to see out the window like that. So my grandfather, who was a carpenter, built me a little wooden bench with a padded seat so I could sit on it between them and see out the window! I loved it!

But my grandfather was the kindest, gentlist, most loving person on the face of the earth and would never knowingly have done anything to endanger one of his grandkids. People just didn't think about things like that back then - he did it to be nice. But the roads were different back then too - we weren't exactly flying down the Interstate at 80 mph.
