What seems to annoy Dad the MOST is whenone of us kids asks Mom to do something that weshould be able to do OURSELVES.Yesterday I asked Mom to open a microwaveburrito for me, because I always have trouble withthose plastic packages.But Dad jumped all over my case. He said if Iwas stranded on a desert island with a thousandmicrowave burritos, I’d STARVE to deathbecause I couldn’t figure out how to open themon my own.25
I told Dad that the chances of me gettingstranded on a desert island with a thousandmicrowave burritos were pretty slim, but he saidI was missing the point.He said if I don’t learn how to do things byMYSELF, I’m not gonna be able to survive inthe “real world.”Another thing Dad hates is how Mom still helpsme get ready for school in the morning. Shepicks out my clothes the night before, and shehas a chart hanging in the kitchen to help mestay on track.26
