Backside both ways!

Thinking back on it it was rather ingenious. Certainly not my idea because I was the youngest. When L was 10, R was 8, D was 6 and I was 4. It solved a lot of problems.
We owned a '42 Chevrolet, Fleetline, 2 door. A very sleek looking car for it's day. The problem it solved was 'who sits where' when there are six people in a 2 door car? Dad drove and mom sat in the middle of the front seat but where will the kids sit? Heading out for a trip to town one of us would call, "front side going" someone else "backside both ways". The deal was that the best seat, front by the door, could be reserved one direction while a back side seat could be reserved both ways. So the person riding in the front by the door going, would switch with the person in the middle of the back, on the way home. The ones by the windows in the back could have that seat both going and coming. It saved many fights.
