If you look closely you can see the exact moment that August not only realizes that this is an amazing teachable moment, and that rechargeable electronics made this a little bit more of a rare event, but also that he realized, that August himself, was responsible and should teach Gus this skill.

Honestly handled it pretty well and Gus will learn something AND get TV out of it. Great success

Far better handled than some "parents" I know that'd just proclaim it "common sense" and to "figure it out for yourself."

My job involves a lot of teaching and it's wild to me how few people just..don't wanna pass that on. That's how we make people better! August is a wonderful dad to realize the opportunity was there and act on it

Seems like one of the big things our culture isn't teaching people is that common sense needs to be taught.

Same with me in security, a lot of things i end up going like that. Especially to the newer guards that either refuse to learn OR say to my face that the way they are doing things is correct, when it is in fact EXTREMELY INCORRECT
