My family and I would go on road trips every year. My parents would always tell me to wear my seatbelt but what did I care nothing bad was really going to happen if I wasn't wearing it. I told this to my sister and she told me that the little man on the seatbelt safety light would come kill me if I didn't wear it. Apparently, mom and dad neglected to tell me that bit. I never forgot to buckle up after that.
