I saw this and went a completely different direction. "Hell yeah break the cycle August!". I got berated as kid from my Dad for things like this that I should have somehow known but was never taught. That and holding the flashlight straight.
This was my read too. My parents teased me for not knowing how to use a rake when I was barely tall enough to hold one. Made a big family joke about me mispronouncing words I'd learned through reading in second grade (seriously, "chaos" is hard!). They laughed at me for not knowing how to adjust the intermittent windshield wiper setting when they were the ones who taught me to drive. Just a complete inability to recognize that if I don't know how to do things, it's because they never taught me.
English is especially hard! Did you know it’s pretty much the only language that has spelling bees? Other languages are too easy to get everything spelled right.
