Default I've been asked to cook!

I only remember one guy in HS whose parents gave him a car. But then,
he was a spoiled, indulged "jock" football player (who, AFAIK, did not
go on to some big football career). I had to work and buy my own car.
So did my brothers.

Not long ago she was extolling the fact her daughter learned how to make
scrambled eggs. How the f* long does that take? She might have to get
up 10 minutes earlier. Wow.

I'm surprised she hasn't trotted out the old "she has no interest in
cooking" chestnut. Nope, she expects someone to do *everything* for
her. Good luck with that when she finally gets out in the real world.
