Filling Fluid

One of the things I teach in Life Skills class is how to add windshield washer fluid to cars. It’s my firm belief that no one should ever pay someone else to add washer fluid because they think it’s too complicated. My only exception is convenience. If a person wants to pay another person out of convenience, that’s okay with me.

I take the kids out to the parking lot and have them take turns pointing at the washer fluid container. It’s always so plainly visible.

I tell the kids that a bonus of living in Hawaii is that you don’t have to have any special anti-freeze fluid for your windshield. You can just use water! Cool!

I add a little dish soap to make the fluid more effective.

    Really? Just water and a squirt of soap? That is brilliant and wonderfully frugal.

    I’m very glad that you do these Life Skills classes. It makes me hopeful for the future. Very, very hopeful. (My post today was about some girls who could use your class.)

    I pay someone to do that out of convenience, but I do know how to do it n my own. I’m also glad you teach theses things so they know what’s possible.

    I am pretty sure I need your class. There are many life skills you speak about that I lack, including refilling the washer fluid. I once opened the hood of my car and realized I don’t recognize most of the things there so I closed it. Can I take your class remotely?
