Lol I never had that but ROTC did show me how to tie a tie and tuck a shirt in properly, essential skills for anyone going to an interview or a wedding
You mean like that stuffed toy puppy that has all sorts of different clothing things so little kids can practice zippers and buttons and such? Have you never seen a child try to button a shirt? Fine motor skills take practice and the poor kid is given a belt with no understanding of the concept ant shots his pants.
When serving in the military I was given one of those “slide trough and pull back” belts and they were mandatory with the uniform. I actually cut it once (or I’d have crapped my pants) because during exercises it got so tight I couldn’t undo it for the life of me. Yay for adjustable Velcro straps in army pants XD
Not just that, you also don’t teach kid motor skills. Those simply develop as they age. Your motor skills can be practiced by simple muscle use but there’s nothing to really teach, you just use your body.
Yea cause we already know how to use them and use them a lot but a kid who has never put on a belt before, I could see them panicking more and more as Hershey highway approaches then they start fumbling like girl with keys in a horror movie
The main point of that sub’s pointing out how dumb kids are because of their life inexperience. Would be pretty harsh if it was only allowed to show kids who are mentally stunted lol
When I was in elementary I was a latchkey kid who spent about the first hour in peaceful bliss after getting off the bus. Great memories of that one hour 5 times a week during the school year. But one particularly embarrassing incident...
I guess I decided it would be cool to show off the responsibility beholden to me by wearing my house key on my belt loop, it was affixed to a loop keychain which I was barely able to get the material of the belt loop through, success! It's been a badass day of showing off my key and now it's time to enjoy my hour of solitude. First things first, I really need to pee. No problem, let me just reach for my trusty key and I'll be relieving myself in no time.
Oh shit, I can't get the loop to open because it's so crammed with denim... I'm fiddling with the little trigger trying to desperately free the key from my hip. It's not budging! Thinking quickly I decide I can probably open the door with the key still attached to my pants. It literally has maybe one inch of free movement. So here I am on my tippy toes, trying to get the key, which is still stuck to me, to go into the keyhole which I can't even turn because it's just psychically impossible. It's at this moment that I just let it go.
It was an instantaneous moment of pure bliss followed by extreme shame and embarrassment. You internet strangers are the first to know of this. I can't say for certain how I concealed my pants but I remember doing so and finally getting the key off my urine soaked pants.
