Wondering what the hell a "Honda" was
Sitting at the airport watching planes come and go. Really, with my folks, we took a blanket and a picnic basket. We would lay on our backs on the hood of the car. Car hoods were actually made of stuff back in the day and our 58 Chevy hood was quite roomy.
No car seats, we would just stand in the middle of the front seat. Mom or Dad would catch us when they stopped the car.
Slide rules, and I can still operate one.

The Wonderful World of Disney every weekend, with Walt Disney himself.
My first bike seemed huge at the time. It had the big tank with headlights, full fenders, and a luggage rack. My dad was so excited! We took it out in the back yard and he was pushing me on it, of course he finally let go and I was biking. He did, however, forget the whole how to stop thing. I get to flying down a slight slope and, I'll never forget this, got scared so reached out and grabbed the fence. BAD plan! Got bonus ice cream out of the deal though.
