Every time I strap my kids into their car seats, I think about what it was like when I was a kid. 35 or 40 years ago, nobody wore seat belts. Kids rode up front or in back, often standing, sometimes with a glass Coke bottle in their mouth as dad smoked like a chimney with the windows rolled up. And if it was after 9 pm, you can bet a fair few people were weaving around drunk.
As well, every other kid on the street is talking or texting on a phone the size of a deck of cards. As a kid, we had one phone, on the kitchen wall, and we shared a party-line with a neighbour.
What little things have changed dramatically since you were a kid and makes you sound like an old fart when you mention it?
