I am a one woman AAA. I jumped started a car this morning all by my little old self. What is it about mini accomplishments such as these that make me feel ready to take on the ills of the world? Peace in the middle East? An end to famine and starvation? Time to organize my closet? No problem, I am an uber-genius, capable of solving all the world's ills because I know that red goes to positive and you have to ground the black clampy thing on the car.
There are three things a woman should know how to do before she ever drives her first car: 1) know how to use jumper cables properly so as not to make the battery explode 2) how to change a flat tire and 3) how do deal with an overheating radiator. If there is no man in your life to teach you these things, read the book, find a diagram, I swear it's not hard. Why, you ask, should I know these things when that's what men were put on the planet for? Well, to illustrate, this morning as I was performing the miracle jump start, I was passed by at least 4 members of the male species, not to mention one police cruiser. None of them bothered to stop to see if we needed help. Either I looked really really capable or they didn't know how either and were afraid to look like idiots. The point is this....know how to do it yourself and you can rest assure that you will never have to look like a man.
