The boys were complaining that their bikes needed some TLC. They assumed that they could bring their bikes to dad and he would fix them while they hung out and played. One great thing about dad (there are so many) is that he won't fix anything without an apprentice, young or old. He believes in the old Chinese Proverb: Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. Today he taught the boys bike maintenance. I, on the other hand, rode my bike to him and skipped away to make dinner, do laundry, take a nap and/or read a good book. We wives/mothers have special privileges that include starving when the fisherman is gone.
Oh, oh. Three Jensen heads together!
The possiblities!
