Adulting 101- Monday- 4th period
Well. The time had finally come. Kitty had to bring the class back to the Danger Shop, which today looked like an auto mechanic's shop, with a car for each of them.
"I hear last week was terrible," Kitty said, "so I'm not going to make you do anything that requires too much thought. But I am going to teach you how to change a tire. Maybe you drive, maybe you don't, but at some point either your car's going to break down, or you're going to see a stranded motorist on the road, or your friend's going to call you because they're stuck with a flat tire, so just in case, you should know how to do it. Come on over here and watch."
Kitty then showed them the steps on what to do, then brushed herself off and said, "That's what you're going to do. There are coveralls if you want to protect your clothes, and there are jacks and spares in the trunk."

Re: Change a tire
Except -- she couldn't quite -- okay, those lugnuts were on very tight. She couldn't get the second one to even budge. She leaned into the tire iron, even shifted to give herself some large muscles and a bit more weight, and it wouldn't move. She tried standing on the thing -- and the lugnut snapped off entirely.
"Um."
That probably wasn't good.
