What was wrong with adults back in the day?! My old fridge… just going to leave it right here… standing up… easy to open… better paint it like a rocket ship and put this sign on it, “secret fort.” My mom kept one of these old fridges in our garage where I kept and played with a bunch of my toys. Just sitting there. Facing out. Anyone could open it. Luckily I too was swayed by the world around me to avoid them. So it worked. But seriously people!?! Turn the thing around so you can’t open the door, packing tape the door closed… I don’t know… anything?! It was a simpler time.
Was our old fridge, unused. She got a magnetic one and I remember using the box as a fort in my room but she kept the old one and just stored it. Odd that Sears didn’t take it away, or that she didn’t ask a friend to take it to the dump. Just put it in the garage out in the open. I do remember getting the talk about kids suffocating. Like putting Ajax next to sugar and telling me don’t mistake the Ajax for sugar. She also did the mom arm seatbelt maneuver while I stood in the front seat of the car because I was too small to see. What a time to have been alive!
It really was a lot less safe in some ways. I don't think I wore a seatbelt during my entire childhood. Once my sister was rear-ended while I was in the car with here and I smacked my head on the windshield. Even after that we didn't wear them. Scary when I think about it.

The one the garage? Did it function or was it just to have around?
