The instructor of my driver's ed class in the early 80's would pick the tiniest girl in the class to make change a tire on the day he taught that.

When I was in driver's Ed in 19*mumblemumble* we were required to change a tire. You had to have a parent sign off that they showed you how and witnessed you doing it. Most girls' just either watched their Dad or had him sign off without actually doing anything. My Dad made me rotate the tires on our 1988 Chevy Caprice 😂. But hey, I can definitely change a tire 🤷

Yikes!!

Never was taught how to change a tire. Thankfully it was pretty straightforward in the heat of the moment after I drove over a WAY bigger rock than I thought it was haha

Look over there!

I have been trying very hard not to go insane due to the news since 2016.

I bet the AZ laws are stricter for therapists reporting crimes than religious leaders.
