Sorry, I thought I was teaching my daughter right..... The same way I was taught by my Dad. I had to learn to drive on a standard. Every vehicle in the yard was a stick so it was by default.
It worked well for me so I figured my kids should do the same.

We did the same for our kids. Our thinking is if they are out with friends and something happens, they aren't stuck because they don't know how to drive the vehicle
I did hear on the news that some car jackers gave up due to not knowing how to drive the vehicle in question [emoji14] Bet they lost some street cred

A bud taught my oldest to drive my truck, she kept stalling every time she started on a hill,,,, frustrated Timmy said listen when your ready floor it and side step the clutch,,,,, the kid and the tiers of that truck were never the same. She learned to drive like a champ, in fact she is one of only 3 or 4 people, that I can sleep when they are driving

I have 6 daughters and they all had to learn to drive with a 4 speed standard in the hay field. After they mastered that they could move on to whatever they wanted. Two of them ended up buying their own first car with standard transmissions. I also concentrated on driving habits which tend to make a difference for life.

"Why?"
"Well, you know, they got the broads and the tight shorts and the legs . . ."
"OK."
Ten years later at age 40 they meet and play golf again.
"Where you wanna go?"
"Hooters.”
"Why?"
"Well, you know, they got cold beer and the big screen TVs and everybody has a little action on the games."
"OK."

A lady about 8 months pregnant got on a bus. She noticed the man opposite her was smiling at her. She immediately moved to another seat.
This time the smile turned into a grin, so she moved again. He seemed more amused. When on the fourth move, the man burst out laughing, she complained to the driver and he had the man arrested.
The case came up in court. The Judge asked the man (about 20 years old) what he had to say for himself. The man replied..."Well your Honor, it was like this: When the lady got on the bus, I couldn't help but notice her condition. She sat under a sweets sign that said, "The Double Mint Twins are Coming" and I grinned .
Then she moved and sat under a sign that said "Logan's Liniment will reduce the swelling", and I had to smile.Then she placed herself under a deodorant sign that said "William's Big Stick Did the Trick", and I could hardly contain myself.BUT, your Honor, when she moved for the fourth time and sat under the sign that said "Goodyear Rubber could have prevented this Accident"..
..I just lost it......."

B) using the vacuum incorrectly
C) using the vacuum to get out of a beating
D) "You are using the vacuum, therefore you must be trying to vacuum up evidence of something else you did wrong"

Nope, Virginia. Maybe THEY grew up in the same household.
Did yours charge you rent from 14yrs old till you moved out at 17?
Make you pay for your clothes, school books & supplies, motorcycle & insurance?
She even insisted that my boss call her if I got a raise, so she could raise the rent accordingly.
Bill you had quite the experience as a youngster! I lived at a State Children's home in Sioux Falls for a spell, and it wasn't quite that controlling!!
