What's this?

Lol. I'm the mom and I'm the one that taught my kids to change a tire.


My dad taught me in our driveway. Once when I was at VT, a car that I was riding in with a bunch of girlfriends had a flat. It was night and we weren't near anything. I changed it.

So when I unknowingly ran over a spike on the highway and found my tire flat the next morning in my driveway, I called the kids out and told them they were going to change the tire. I supervised. Since then, I think my son has had to change several tires - friends cars and another on one of my cars (this time I just sent my son out to change it by himself).
