If I used my gameboy light in the car I wasn't allowed to be within the area my dad could see in the rearview mirror

back then, windshields had no anti-reflective coating and headlights were a lot dimmer. You couldn't see shit outside the car with a light on inside.

Oh my GOD i hated this as a kid - why is there a light just for me if I can't use it? And then I was driving my 3yo son the other night, and he's like "turn the lights on" and as I was explaining to him why I wouldn't, it struck me... the cycle is complete

Damnit… it’s come full circle. Now I’m the dad, and saying the same thing to my 3yo when he turns the light on as he gets in his car seat.

It is against family law to turn the light on during road trips. You will be hanged at dawn until dead. All possessions will be forfeited to your little sister

Great movie, my favourite part was the thud when Stalin got almost dead.

I'm old enough...

My brothers, in the process of ratting me out.

But... it's to scare away the ghosts...

Ha I'm that way now. Back in the day if you forgot to turn it off it would drain the battery. Plus where I lived a dead battery in the winter can freeze and basically need to be replaced.
