Buckle up; set a good example
When I was little, my mom gave me the nickname “Little Houdini.”
Just like the famous escape artist of the early 20th century, I had a mysterious way of escaping from my car seat and seat belt as a child.
No matter how many times my mother pulled over to strap me back in and no matter how many different restraining devices she would try, I always found a way to break free so that I could crawl around the back seat.
Even as I grew up, I was reluctant to fasten my seat belt because I thought it was uncomfortable.
And then I remember the very moment when I decided to always wear my seat belt.
My older neighbor, who would baby-sit me frequently, was in a horrible car accident. She was not wearing her seat belt.
She swerved to miss a deer and hit a nearby tree.
Fortunately, my neighbor was not killed. However, she did suffer a head injury and internal bleeding.
