What did you do to your P2 Volvo today?

Took the backseat out and pried the carpet up to dry out the moisture from the leaky heater core several months back. I found among the artifacts under the seat a unopened kid print bandaid from when the car was new and my daughter was little! June

You could sell those medical supplies to Niel in Calgary!

The heat and years had not been kind to that bandaid!

I tried to open it and it had turned to jelly... I guess it's a mark of a family car. June

Nope. Cheerios under rear seat cushion are the true mark of a family car.

Food and drink were never allowed in my Volvo! I live in Florida where spilled food attracts roaches, as in the insect variety Abscate

My daughter did have a bandaid fixation around 3-4 years old=within the car's first or second year of it's life. June

Maybe in NJ. It’s Kale goldfish in sophisticated upstate NY

For the band-aid fixated, I recommend Robert McCloskey's "Burt Dow, Deep Water Man," a classic kid's book in all respects with fabulous illustrations. Possible it was a Newberry Award winner as well (but I didn't check).

That’s the “ make way for ducklings” author isn’t it?

Can verify Cheerios, as well as a small dried out mouse skeleton, maybe from a camping trip.....?

All I know is that old cheese doodles behind seats smell like someone's peed themselves in wet weather.
