So, aside from seeing Steve from Blue's Clues, what actually happened? Did they just come to the school, hand out t-shirts, and have an hour long Nick themed assembly leaving the rest of the day for normal school? Did they actually go classroom to classroom through the whole day doing Nick themed educational stuff like involving slime in a bunch of science experiments/setting up a Double Dare style obstacle course for P.E.?

I know you were just seven when it happened and it's kind of hard to remember, but a quick chronological rundown of how the day actually went aside from just "Some teachers and kids got slimed" would be cool. I always imagined this happening at my school as a kid and I'd like to know how the day in reality actually goes compared to what my overactive kid brain thought it would be like.

I can confirm. Way more often than not, I've stopped for gas and then figured "Well I'm already here, may as well knock out the grocery shopping, too."

If you have proper visibility and safe operation of the vehicle controls, you might not need a booster seat. You should still be able to apply through the NHTSA if you're in the states to have an on/off switch installed. People who can sit a safe distance from the wheel can drive your car with the airbag active, and you can turn it off so it doesn't go off right in your face.

I've been looking up information on this for the last half hour trying to find if this permission is still being granted and I can't find out for sure. Either way, it is definitely worth a look: http://www.safercar.gov/Vehicle+Shoppers/Air+Bags/ON-OFF+Switch+Requests

Awesome. That's actually closer to what I imagined it would be like as a kid than I expected.
