OK, a personal confession: I don't know how the fuck to do ANYTHING around the house. I couldn't repair any appliance, fix any car, or install absolutely anything. And, frankly, I don't know how it seems that everyone else around me has learned. Not just the father-figures, but people my age (~20) being able to do something like fix a leaky faucet. It's also somewhat emasculating for your girlfriend to know how to do ANYTHING to her car while you stare dumbfounded.

Has something changed that made us a bitch generation? Are YOU knowledgable regarding the fine art of home repair? If so, how did you learn this seemingly instinctual skill? And is there anyone but me who seems destined to hiring a repairman?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Little Johnny didn't MEAN to be a screw-up.

My father was raised only by his mother, which explains why he has absolutely no idea how to handle his children. I guess that makes sense a lot of times.

I guess that for people who don't know, it's time to crack-open the how-to book.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
