2 Don't stick a finger in the cigarette lighter
3 Don't be late for meetups, cause you might get left behind
4 The garage door can kill you
5 Don't sleep night before road trip so you would sleep the whole way

What’s a real thing from your childhood that kids these days would find completely foreign?
Like, how we used to be able to walk right up to the gate to meet our family coming off a flight.
Or how we had to pick a spot to meet at the theater BEFORE we went.
