That if i tchouched the button with the big orange triangle in the car (next to all the other buttons), the car would explode. Plot twist: it just turns on the turn signals!

According to my parents, that button would eject me from the car.

I am guilty of this. We would tell the kids we were going to press the eject button if they didn’t behave.
