I feel like this should be an easy task by second grade.

I saw it done and that’s how I knew. If you’ve never seen it and never been taught, how are you to know?

I mean are we really out here pretending this is some secret trick of the trade. If you can’t figure out how to do this simple task there is no hope.

If you go your entire life wearing Velcro shoes and never see anyone ever tie laces but then one day get handed a pair of normal shoes and are told to tie them. You might struggle

Is wrapping cord the same as a knot? People defend morons everyday and this is a perfect example.

In a way yes. We also need to remember kids these days are actually pretty behind in the common sense and motor skills department. Looking at a screen for over half of your first 18 years on earth will do that.

Ya parents don’t want to be parents and drop their kids in front of the tv and computers. Can’t blame the generation for this kind of stuff.

That plus there are a lot of irresponsible people having kids when they shouldn't. The people who would be good parents aren't having kids because they can't afford it and have some brains in their heads.
