A little wagon humour

The weekend edition of one of my favourite web comics features the main character as a little boy not unlike Dennis the Menace. The author likes to wax nostalgic about his own childhood in these comics from time to time. I think we can all identify with this one.

(Warning, if you choose to read this strip regularly, the weekday strips are much different and can get a little Not Suitable For Work sometimes.)

 

HA! I like that. Wasn't that part of the fun back then.

 

that's cool

 

Funny and not funny! I still bare the scar from one of those rides!

 

Who got the warnings? Not me.........

When the girls were little and we were on an open highway or road with about a 45mph speed, I would occasionally 'dance to the music' on the radio with the car. Small little steering inputs in time with the music. Got "Dad - STOP THAT!"...........
-----------------------------------------------
EDIT:
Of course! Now that I'm thinking back, when I was kid, this is exactly what my dad did when driving from time to time.

 

I liked that. Has that time come?
I guess we were lucky and our kids too. Seat belts and kiddy seats were unheard of, then never used later.
They rode in everything from Model A rumble seats, station wagon rears without seats, even a VW Beetle behind the rear seat.

 

I can remember sliding across the seat during this same kinda of driving...course it was just two weeks ago. We(mom, sis, aunty and myself) where on a road trip, sis was driving.

I believe she is slowly turning into my mom, she is difiniatly picking up some of her driving techniques. She kept putting the cruise control on while we are traveling on winding back roads. So a few times me and the cooler are sliding across the seat to visit mom.

 

At 16 years old I remember putting Armorall on the bench seats of my 67 Belvedere convertible. Then made the mistake of Not putting on my seat belt and making a left turn. A tight grip on the steering wheel was the only thing that kept me from sliding into the passenger seat. The problem was, that didn't work so well with actually trying to use the steering wheel to steer the car. At that point, reaching the pedals was no longer an option either. Luckily no one was around to see it and I didn't wreck.
I never again drove without the seat belts, and I never again put Armor-all on the seats.

 

Nit pickin........... A left turn would shove you against the driver's door. (Ooops. if you were you in an American car?)Don't ask!
Also not good idea to Armorall a steering wheel too. Don't ask either!

 

Nit pickin pickyer...turning left would indeed force your body to the right on a slippery seat. yipe!
