At the grocery store today we were about to leave and DS2 was riding the pony (1 cent @ meijers) and I had DD in her seat on one of those nifty bench cart thingys where you can strap the car seat in. Anyway, there was a very elderly man sitting on the bench next to the pony. He asked me if that was a baby car seat and I smiled and said yes. He then asked if DS2 rides in a car seat too. Again I said yes with a smile. He then says how different things are today. I'm thinking oh boy here comes the our kids were fine without those newfangled things old person speech.
BUT..... then tears start rolling down his face and he says he wishes that they had those car seat things back when his son was little because his only child was killed in a car accident in 1950. I started crying too. OMG that caught me so off guard. I assured him I do my best to keep my kids safe in the car. Poor guy, he was all sad remembering. I gave him a big hug when we left.
