Sure, we (people who are reading this) survived, but how many didn't!! My SIL lost a baby to crib death, I bet she wished someone had told her about babies sleeping on their backs.
I do like the part about being out playing all day. Does anyone else remember, "Calling out" ? -- if you went to your friends house you NEVER knocked on the door or rang the bell. You stood on the stoop and "called them out" - called their name real loud in a certain singsong tone that I can't describe.

Those were the days. My dermatologist (and when did we start having a doctor for every little thing?) asked me if I was out in the sun much when I was a kid!! I say,"Are you kidding me? It's more like when WASN'T I out in the sun????"

My daughter can't believe all the horrible things I did to her when she was little (born in 1981 just before super-crash-protected seats got popular)....and all the allergens I fed her too early---but kids like peanut butter! And all the grapes and hotdogs she ate (#1 and #2 choking hazards) but she loved them.... and of course, now that she's a mom, I can't believe how overboard everything is with her kids' generation!
