I often find myself putting on my seat-belt to pull my car from one bay to the other, or just to pull it out to wash it. It is 100% built in habit.

Many years ago in my single days I was dating a lady that had two boys that were 8 and 10. She asked me to drive them in her car to the state fair and spend the day with them at the fair. I loaded up the boys in the back and watched as they buckled up. Withing a block of the house both boys unbuckled the belts. I stopped and told them to buckle up or we will not got the fair. They did, and once again after a block they unbuckled. I just turned around and we went back to their house. The boys were crying and I left.

That evening she called and said the boys were begging to go to the fair and they promised to stay buckled up. We went the next day and she said the boys cried and threw fits that they did not get to go to the fair on Saturday. She explained it was their fault and only their fault.

She said they had been fighting her about wearing seat-belts for months. She always caved in. I had taught them a lesson. If you ride in a car I am driving, you will wear the seat-belt.
