A few nights ago I was with a good friend, hanging out in the garage, as he taught his young teenage daughter how to change the oil on a SUV. They were both under the truck, poking around, as he explained everything about oil's function in engines.
This time they spent together was pretty awesome to witness. I saw a dad and daughter bonding, as she understood that her dad was giving her life-skills toward independence. More importantly, he was spending time with her.
As they emerged, task completed, I handed both of themsteaming hot chocolates. I then intentionally wandered off for a walk down the street, to give them space to chitchat.
