Over time I guess our preparing for the apocalypse has changed a bit eh? I was going to mess some colors into this picture, but then realized it's perfect the way it is. Isn't this picture gorgeous? It's weird to think that people had so much more to keep their kids away from, other than zombies. People would often lose children to the measles or the flu.
This might seem a little crazy or drastic, but If I were in a time when medicine wasn't readily available, I'd be strapping my baby into something like this too.
All jokes aside, it's just an interesting pic I wanted to share.
Did someone pass wind ?
ReplyDeleteAre you old enough to remember hiding under your desk at school in case a bomb was dropped? I was talking about this with some family the other day. Also, having the "bomb shelters" all around town and the lockers that held gas masks, etc.
ReplyDeleteI'm ancient so I do remember all this. Actually, the closer it gets to 09/11, each year, those memories become more prevalent. Innocence lost, I guess.
Well, haven't I just rambled on!
@max Evel, yeah that was me ;)
ReplyDeleteNityrd - I do remember getting under our desks for school shootings, but not bombs. I think we left the building if there was a bomb threat.Sorry, I'm still considered a youngin' to most...
As a brit, I actually won one of those masks the lady is wearing. It belonged to my Grandfather.
