Carolyn,
When you could barely talk I put you "in charge" of seat belts. You were responsible to remind your dAd and me that we needed to buckle up. It made my job of buckling you in a cinch. (Please forgive the pun.)
I'm sorry if that thoughtless decision has led you into an adult obsession although it is hardly "new".  Worthy though your thoughts are, there is almost nothing we can do about the choices other folks make.

I've seen some pretty awful bruises from seat belts. I've also worked with a student who had brain damage from being thrown from a car. I'd choose the bruises anytime.

Love,
MoM
