Someone requested this list so I thought I would oblige.
Here goes...
1. How to change a flat tire.
2. How to balance a checkbook.
3. How to make a decent, well rounded, nutritious meal with a $20 budget.
4. How to do laundry.
5. How to have a face-to-face conversation with an adult.
6. How to ask someone you like out on a date.
7. How to read and navigate around an unfamiliar city/town.
8. How to ride public transportation.
9. How to write a "thank you" note.
10. How to sew a button, mend a rip, etc.
These are my thoughts as a 40 year old woman who was once a teenager who knew how to do all of the above.
Love and Light.
Go Cubs!
Funny that today is the day I choose to stumble back onto this blog... Just blew about 100$ on groceries, and not 3 days ago had to assist a friend with a tire blowout...
ReplyDeleteI also couldn't agree more. There are 100 more "how to's" that could be added to this list that some people never care to learn and that most institutions never teach. I just turned 19, and feel somewhat useless knowing that I can only do 6 of these-although, I feel no shame in googling "how to get a date".
Can't stress these (#4 and 7 especially) enough!!! I may have had a meltdown today in the laundry room when the washing machine wouldn't work...
