With the Fusion at 40% remaining oil life, and the Cougar probably not due for another 1,000 miles, today was the perfect day to change oil in both cars. Now that Lila is walking, it was high time she started pulling some weight around the house. I ignored her question about why I was wasting money changing oil so early and told her to hand me wrenches when I asked for them. The first two requests were filled fairly quickly, but by the third she opted to explore the lawn mower and I didn't even both asking afterwards as the noise from the grinder she was using to sharpen the mower blade was too loud to hear anything. In the end I managed to get both cars changed before nap time despite my helper slacking off. Most importantly she didn't drink any anti-freeze or brake cleaner, a success all by itself.
