Be a Goddamn Adult. Learn to Cook. »

Years ago, I went out with this guy who only knew how to make baked chicken breasts and macaroni and cheese. He didn't know how to do his own laundry and once offered to pay me $15 to sew a button back on his peacoat. Whenever anything broke in his apartment, he threw it away and bought a new thing. He couldn't change his oil, or a tire, or iron his shirts. He couldn't do much of anything without involving the service industry, and if society had ended when we were dating, he'd have been a terrible post-apocalyptic ally, among the first to be eaten by a roving tribe of early adopting cannibals. He was a kidult, a sadly typical state of prairie skill dearth currently occupied by twenty and thirtysomethings who were never taught basic Existing Self Sufficiently stuff. And it's high time for the Age of the Kidult to end. Source Main page (current trends)
