A friend asked on Facebook what he should teach his teenage daughter before she went out in the world. There were a lot of good answers. Here are mine.
Making an omelet. Sewing on a button. One dish you can cook for company. Sorting laundry. How to give a concise yet sincere apology. Parallel parking. Watching the car in front of the car in front of you. Simple strategies for talking to strangers at social events. How to ask for what you want. An unshakeable conviction that “No, thank you” is a decisive answer in almost any situation.
