Adulting 101- Monday- 2nd period

Today the Danger Shop looked like a garage, complete with a few cars that the students would totally get to work on today.

"Last week you did some driving. This week you're going to learn what to do when you need to fix something before you can drive that car," Kitty explained. "Things happen. You leave your lights on, or it's freezing, and your battery dies. You drive over a nail and you get a flat tire. Now you could get something like AAA, which for certain issues will come out and help you get out of a bad spot, but it's good to know how to do certain things for yourself, at least until you can get them checked out by a professional. So I'm going to show you how to do them, and then you'll pick a car and try it out yourself."

Re: Put oil in your car

Even though they very rarely had a car growing up, these were all things that Ingrid had already taught Astrid how to do at one point in their lives, when her mother was in a spot where she was particularly keen on emphasing that she should never be in a position where she was dependant on other people. It had been a while, so the refresher was good. She'd forgotten a lot of the little things that would have prevented her from being confident about it all if she needed to figure it out in a moment of crisis.

She made pretty methodical work out of checking the oil and refilling it, being careful not to make a mess.
