Verdict In

my 15 year old asked why our garage smells like a Jiffy Lube. thoughts

found out my son has been changing his own oil in the driveway since March. never asked me. never told me. just youtube videos and a Fumoto valve he bought with lawn mowing money. did it better than i did at his age. not sure if i should be proud or offended

kid bought his own Fumoto valve with lawn money. thats real initiative. back in my day i just watched my old man do it. proud, no question.

@r.oyelaran_rn

he's 15 and self sufficient with power tools and hot oil. i'd be proud and slightly terrified. both.
