Seatbelts weren't even thought of yet. We would hop in a wagon going down hill without any gear. I hung diapers on the line before school. In the winter I had to stack them like cordwood, careful not to break them to bring them in to thaw so I could fold them after school. I babysat my 5 younger siblings at age 10 and could handle any emergency as well as my mom. Mama taught me to drive at 12. We even cut up whole chickens ourselves which I could do at 12 years old.
