GaGa...great story! I would like to add...
I never "huffed" or used drugs or smoke or drank. Led kind of a boring life as a kid if it were considered by some. But, I lived life dangerously by today's standards.
I never wore seat belts or rode in a child restraint seat when I was growing up. Our family took a two week road trip to Canada without ever fastening a seat belt...1975. My family had a Dodge van....you know, the kind where the engine compartment was between the two front seats....the heater rarely worked and, as a toddler, my parents sat me on the engine compartment between the two front seats if we went anywhere in the winter because that was the warmest spot. I was maybe 2 or so. I rollerskated and rode skateboards without helmets, wrist guards, or knee pads. I rode my bike everywhere and explored our neighborhood and beyond without ever wearing a helmet. My friends and I scraped our knees on the playground, got our hair caught in the swingset chain, and received numberous cuts, bumps, stitches, and bruises playing on metal and wood (not plastic) playground equipment...without our parents ever filing a lawsuit. In the winter, we rode our sleds down the steepest hill in the neighborhood without any protective gear. I drank water directly from the garden hose and never got sick because of it. We did all this and more! And we survived! I am a child of the 70s and 80s....and I survived!
