Reply #6: Years ago after I graduated from engineering school

[bleedingheart]

I moved in with my mom when I got a job closer to where mom lived..

So I go out and buy a mountain bike and start riding it every day after work. One day I am riding along and lo and behold...the chain breaks and so I get off the bike and I start fixing it. Two young boys who had been riding their bikes come up to me and one says...."Don't you have a husband who can do that for you?". I politely explained that I didn't have a husband and that I could fix the chain by myself...I then let him know that I was an engineer and then and there...I could tell that the kid's perspective on women changed a bit. So if anything don't write the kid off...be a role model for him.....
