I'm 49 and remember some of that....you should have heard me explaining to my own children (late 20's) why they didn't ride in the car in crash-tested car seats (they were just starting to come out and were very expensive and not required), about eating lots of any kind of fish I wanted while I was pregnant (a big no-no today) and not having a color TV growing up----they were way too expensive and not widely available until I was around 10 or so. My kids think I grew up on Mars!
