lessons lived, lessons learned

would you know what to do if you were trapped in a meat freezer?
I know this is a highly unlikely circumstance, but sometimes life gets you in a pickle and you think later about all the things you could have done to make things easier. whether you are seven or seventy seven you can always learn a little. Things you and your children should know...
-Emergency contacts (your children should not only know your home information but at least one other persons phone number.)
-Change a Tire (by the time they are 16, at least show them how, or get them AAA and a cell phone.)
-Basic First Aid (a band-aid may not be any help if the wound is not cleaned and may actually cause worse infection.)
-CPR (older children who are responsible for their siblings or other kids, even for short periods of time, should know what to do in case of an emergency.)
-Swim (obv.)
-Remove a bee stinger (weird, but I have had to do this at least a dozen times)


[These are not necessities to live, but they are definitely helpful hints.]
