I have never met a kid who likes or enjoys helping their parents around the house. Honestly, I highly doubt a kid like that actually exists.

What is it about men and their old, run-down, broken cars that they seem so unable to let go of? Why do they feel the need to fight for every scrap of metal, until what used to be a full-functioning car becomes nothing but an immovable lump of mismatched nothings? When I met my boyfriend, …
