My teenager surprised me today!

My son asked me what he could do to earn some money this morning. I thought for a little bit and suggested "patching holes and dents in our sheetrock walls". He said "I don't know how." I responded "I'll show you at 12:30 pm".

At 12:30, we met in the garage where I got my joint compound, trowel and trough, and showed him over the next 15 minutes how to patch different holes and dents. I grabbed a bite to eat and went back to my job. I came up 2 hours later to more than 100 holes/dents filled up (we've lived in our house for 14 years raising kids so I guess we've been doing a great job at "living" 😂). It was so cool! After dinner, we're going to review how to sand them and do a second coat if necessary. Tomorrow he wants to learn how to do touch-up paint.

Spoiler...my son is only 13 years old. Pretty awesome dad moment!
