We have this thread from time to time.
We learn so many things from our parents or grandparents but I thought it would be fun to tell about things we never learned from them.
I never learned to make home made pie crust. My mother made them every year for Thanksgiving but I never learned how to do it.
I never learned to change a tire.
I never learned to change the oil in my car.
I never learned to make dried flower arrangements or work with silica gel. My mom did these all the time.
I never learned how to make a ‘good’ Brandy Alexander. My mom made some good ones.
I never learn how to sew my own clothes or even repair for that matter. Replacing a button is about all I can do. My mother and my aunt can make their own clothes. Hell my aunt made homemade Barbie clothes.
I never learned how to develop my own film. Both of my parents knew how. My dad had a lab in the basement. All I remember about it weas an enlarger (a machine), developer (liquid stuff) and a red light bulb.
I can’t grow shit even though my grandmother had tons of plants and I think all she did was throw some water at them every now and then.
I never learned to use a saw of any kind. Both my dad and my grandfather had them and made wood and metal crafts. Table saws, routers, lathes etc.
I never made a model. My dad made tons of them. Mostly minatures.
I never learned how to drive stick. Both my parents know how.
